THE MESSAGE
He went back and found him stationed beside his Whole-Burnt-Offering and with him all the nobles of Moab. Then Balaam spoke his message-oracle: Balak led me here from Aram, the king of Moab all the way from the eastern mountains. "Go, curse Jacob for me; go, damn Israel." How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I damn whom God has not damned? From rock pinnacles I see them, from hilltops I survey them: Look! a people camping off by themselves, thinking themselves outsiders among nations. But who could ever count the dust of Jacob or take a census of cloud-of-dust Israel? I want to die like these right-living people! I want an end just like theirs!

Contextual Overview
1 Bil‘am said to Balak, "Build me seven altars here, and prepare me seven bulls and seven rams here." 2 Balak did as Bil‘am said; then Balak and Bil‘am offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 3 Bil‘am said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering while I go off; maybe Adonai will come and meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you." He went off to a bare hill. 4 God met Bil‘am, who said to him, "I prepared the seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar." 5 Then Adonai put a word in Bil‘am's mouth and said, "Go on back to Balak, and speak as I tell you." 6 He went back to him, and there, standing by his burnt offering, he with all the princes of Mo'av, 7 he made his pronouncement: "Balak, the king of Mo'av, brings me from Aram, from the eastern hills, saying, ‘Come, curse Ya‘akov for me; come and denounce Isra'el.' 8 "How am I to curse those whom God has not cursed? How am I to denounce those whom Adonai has not denounced? 9 "From the top of the rocks I see them, from the hills I behold them — yes, a people that will dwell alone and not think itself one of the nations. 10 "Who has counted the dust of Ya‘akov or numbered the ashes of Isra'el? May I die as the righteous die! May my end be like theirs!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he returned unto him,.... Immediately, as soon as he was told what to say:
and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice; continued in his devotions, hoping for success, and waiting for Balaam's return:
he and all the princes of Moab; not only those that were sent to Balaam, but perhaps all the princes of the kingdom who were got together on this occasion, and by reason of the imminent danger they apprehended the nation was in on account of Israel.
