Zitat Kommentar zu Schir haSchirim 7:12

And it is further possible to interpret “these three times,” that it hinted to him [Balaam]: How do you wish to uproot a nation that upholds the three things upon which the world stands (Avot 1:2)? Namely the three pillars of the world, which are Torah, worship, and acts of kindness, for their nullification would destroy the entire world. And it hinted to him about acts of kindness in what it says and went into the field, because the essence of acts of kindness comes from the field through tithes, gleanings, forgotten sheaves, and the corners [of the field left for the poor]. And the worship in the Temple, which is compared to a vineyard, it hinted to him in the path of the vineyards. And so Rashi explained He brought me to the house of wine (Song of Songs 2:4) [as referring to] the Tent of Meeting. And about them it is said (Song of Songs 7:12-13), Come, my beloved, let us go out to the field, let us rise early to the vineyards, etc. And in the narrow place where there is no way to turn right or left, it hinted to Torah in the way that has been explained, and this is a correct allusion.
