Balaam was a pagan magician hired by Balak, king of Moab, to curse Israel according to Numbers 22. Balaam refused to curse Israel for Balak, because God told him that they were blessed and not cursed. Following the abandonment of the cursing, God spoke to Ballam through the mouth of his ass (much as Satan once used a serpent?) instructing Balaam to construct seven alters and perform a series of sacrifices of rams and oxen upon them.
Balaam's story continues from Numbers 22 through 24.
