Numeri 23:29 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:29

And Balaam said unto Balak
Being willing to try again what could be done, and to gratify the king, and especially to get the wages of unrighteousness, if possible, which he dearly loved, as the apostle says, ( 2 Peter 2:15 )

build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and
seven rams;
which had been done in two places before, ( Numbers 23:1 Numbers 23:14 ) the same sort of creatures, and the same number here as there, and these only clean creatures, such as were used in sacrifice by the true worshippers of God, and which, no doubt, Balaam had knowledge of, and therefore judged that those would be most acceptable to the Lord.

Numeri 23:29 In-Context

27 E Balak disse a Balaam: "Deh, vieni, io ti condurrò in un altro luogo; forse piacerà a Dio che tu me lo maledica di là".

28 Balak dunque condusse Balaam in cima al Peor che domina il deserto.

29 E Balaam disse a Balak: "Edificami qui sette altari, e preparami qui sette giovenchi e sette montoni".

30 Balak fece come Balaam avea detto, e offrì un giovenco e un montone su ciascun altare.
