23:4 Then God met Balaam, who 2 said to him, “I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”
23:14 So Balak brought Balaam 3 to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, 4 where 5 he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
1 tn The Hebrew text has “on the altar,” but since there were seven of each animal and seven altars, the implication is that this means on each altar.
2 tn The relative pronoun is added here in place of the conjunction to clarify that Balaam is speaking to God and not vice versa.
3 tn Heb “he brought him”; the referents (Balak and Balaam) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Some scholars do not translate this word as “Pisgah,” but rather as a “lookout post” or an “elevated place.”
5 tn Heb “and he built.”
