Numbers 23:1-4

Balaam’s First Oracle

1 And Balaam said to Balak, ^q“Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.” 2 Balak did as Balaam had said. And Balak and Balaam ^roffered on each altar a bull and a ram. 3 And Balaam said to Balak, ^s“Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come ^tto meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell you.” And he went to a bare height, 4 ^uand God met Balaam. And Balaam said to him, “I have arranged the seven altars and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”

Numbers 23:14-15

14 And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, ^vand built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15 Balaam said to Balak, ^w“Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet the Lord over there.”

Numbers 23:29-30

29 And Balaam said to Balak, ^x“Build for me here seven altars and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.” 30 ^yAnd Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

Hebrews 10:4-10

4 For ^zit is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Consequently, ^aawhen Christ ^{▼▼Greek he} came into the world, he said,

^ac“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in ^adsacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, ^ae“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will ^afwe have been sanctified through the offering of ^agthe body of Jesus Christ ^ahonce for all.
