“And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.”
Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; Balak said to Balaam, 'I summoned you to curse my enemies, but instead you have blessed them these three times' — Balak's fury is undeniable; he strikes his hands in rage. His complaint is bitter: three times Balaam was summoned to curse; three times blessings have poured forth instead. The repetition of blessing is worse than any curse; Balak's entire strategy has been inverted.
