Contextual Overview
13 Balak said to Balaam, "Let's go somewhere else. Maybe if you see a smaller part of the Israelites, you will be able to curse them for me." 14 So he took Balaam to a field on top of Mount Pisgah where lookouts were stationed. Then he built seven altars there and sacrificed a bull and a ram on each one. 15 "Wait here beside your offerings," Balaam said. "The Lord will appear to me over there." 16 The Lord appeared to Balaam and gave him another message, then he told him to go and tell Balak. 17 Balaam went back and saw him and his officials standing beside the offerings. Balak asked, "What did the Lord say?" 18 Balaam answered: "Pay close attention to my words— 19 God is no mere human! He doesn't tell lies or change his mind. God always keeps his promises. 20 "My command from God was to bless these people, and there's nothing I can do to change what he has done. 21 Israel's king is the Lord God. He lives there with them and intends them no harm. 22 With the strength of a wild ox, God led Israel out of Egypt.

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.
