Les Psaumes 118:11 Midrash : Midrash Tanchuma Buber

(Numb. 22:5, cont.:) NOW THEY ARE DWELLING OPPOSITE ME (MMWLY). <What is actually> written <in the biblical text> is MMLY (from the root, MWL, which means, "cut off"), just as it says (in Ps. 118:11): IN THE NAME OF THE LORD I CUT THEM OFF (rt.: MWL).¹⁵With the word rewritten in this sense, the end of Numb. 22:5 reads: NOW THEY ARE DWELLING <THERE> CUTTING ME OFF. This interpretation of Numb. 22:5 is also given by Rashi, ad loc.
