Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Numbers 22
³³ The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live."
³⁴ And Balaam said to the Angel of the Lord, "I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases You, I will turn back."
³⁵ Then the Angel of the Lord said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you, that you shall speak." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
³⁶ Now when Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon, the boundary of the territory.
³⁷ Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not earnestly send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?"
³⁸ And Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak."
³⁹ So Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath Huzoth.
⁴⁰ Then Balak offered oxen and sheep, and he sent some to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.
⁴¹ So it was the next day, that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might observe the extent of the people.
Numbers 23
¹ Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams."
² And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
