Contextual Overview

¹³ Balac therefore said: Come with me to another place from whence thou mayest see part of Israel, and canst not see them all: curse them from thence. ¹⁴ And when he had brought him to a high place, upon the top of mount Phasga, Balaam built seven altars, and laying on every one a calf and a ram, ¹⁵ He said to Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go to meet him. ¹⁶ And when the Lord had met him, and had put the word in his mouth, he said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou say to him. ¹⁷ Returning he found him standing by his burnt sacrifice, and the princes of the Moabites with him. And Balac said to him: What hath the Lord spoken? ¹⁸ But he taking up his parable, said: Stand, O Balac, and give ear: hear, thou son of Sephor: ¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie, nor is the son of man, that he should be changed. Hath he said then, and will he not do? hath he spoken, and will he not fulfil? ²⁰ I was brought to bless, the blessing I am not able to hinder. ²¹ There is no idol in Jacob, neither is there an image god to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the sound of the victory of the king in him. ²² God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 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.
