22:37Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send again and again51 to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”52
Footnotes
- 51 The emphatic construction is made of the infinitive absolute and the perfect tense from the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “to send”). The idea must be more intense than something like, “Did I not certainly send.” Balak is showing frustration with Balaam for refusing him.
- 52 Balak again refers to his ability to “honor” the seer. This certainly meant payment for his service, usually gold ornaments, rings and jewelry, as well as some animals.
