Thematic Bible



So Balak took Balaam [to] the top of Peor, which looks down on the face of the Jeshimon. And Balaam said to Balak, "Build for me these seven altars, and prepare for me these seven bulls and seven rams." Balak did just as Balaam said, and he offered a bull and a ram on [each] altar.
