Numbers 23:11-17 - Balaam Relocates

¹¹ Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

¹² And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there. ¹⁴ So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar

¹⁵ Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.

¹⁶ And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

¹⁷ So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?
