³ Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet with me.^(A) Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.” Then he went off to a barren height.

²⁷ But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes,^(A) please stay. I have learned by divination^(B) that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”^(C)

24 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel,^(A) he did not resort to divination^(B) as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness.^(C)
