Balaam Blesses Israel
23:11 Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.” 23:2So Balak did just as Balaam had said. Balak and Balaam then offered on each2 altar a bull and a ram.
Footnotes
- 1 The first part of Balaam’s activity ends in disaster for Balak—he blesses Israel. The chapter falls into four units: the first prophecy (vv. 1–10), the relocation (vv. 11–17), the second prophecy (vv. 18–24), and a further location (vv. 25–30).
- 2 The Hebrew text has “on the altar,” but since there were seven of each animal and seven altars, the implication is that this means on each altar.
