And Balaam said to Balak,“ Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”

Then Balaam said to King Balak,“ Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven young bulls and seven rams for me to sacrifice.”

Then Balaam said to Balak,“ Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”

Then Balaam said to Balak,“ Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”

Because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, with God’s help, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

“ What are all your sacrifices to me?” asks the LORD.“ I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.When you come to appear before me, who requires this from you— this trampling of my courts?Stop bringing useless offerings. Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons and Sabbaths, and the calling of solemn assemblies— I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to me; I am tired of putting up with them.When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then my servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he told the descendants of Aaron, the priests, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.

During the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD on each of the seven days, along with a male goat each day for a sin offering.

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

So my people come to you in crowds, sit in front of you, and hear your words, but they don’t obey them. Their mouths go on passionately, but their hearts pursue dishonest profit.

“ On the seventh day present seven bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs a year old— all unblemished—

Suppose you say to me,“ We rely on the LORD our God.” Isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem,“ You must worship at this altar in Jerusalem”?’

Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, have plunged into Balaam’s error for profit, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion.

Then Samuel said: Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

“ You are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 7½ feet long, and 7½ feet wide; it must be 4½ feet high.Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece. Overlay it with bronze.Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze.Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners.Set it below, under the altar’s ledge, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.

“ Make an earthen altar for me, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your flocks and herds. I will come to you and bless you in every place where I cause my name to be remembered.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or for your burnt offerings, which are continually before me.I will not take a bull from your household or male goats from your pens,
