Contextual Overview
13Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, but you will only see the end of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there." 14So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15And he said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet Yahweh over there." 16Then Yahweh met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak." 17So he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has Yahweh spoken?" 18Then he took up his discourse and said,"Arise, O Balak, and hear;Give ear to me, O son of Zippor! 19God is not a man, that He should lie,Nor a son of man, that He should repent;Has He said, and will He not do it?Or has He spoken, and will He not establish it? 20Behold, I have received a command to bless;When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it. 21He has not observed misfortune in Jacob;Nor has He seen trouble in Israel;Yahweh his God is with him,And the shout of a king is among them. 22God brings them out of Egypt,He is for them like the horns of the wild ox.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto Balak, stand here by thy burnt offering,.... As he had before directed him, Numbers 23:3
while I meet the Lord yonder; pointing to some place at a little distance, where he expected to meet the Lord, and have some instructions from him, which he seemed confident of, having met with him once already.
