Numbers 22:40
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. (Numbers 22:40)
Balak offered.
 In all probability a sacrificial feast to honor Balaam and make for a propitious beginning of operations. Balak thus demonstrated his joy that the prophet had arrived in safety (cf. 1 Sam. 9:23, 24).
