פירוש על במדבר 22:17

כי כבד אכבדך מאד FOR I WILL HONOR THEE EXCEEDINGLY — Exceedingly: more than you have ever received as a fee in the past (cf. Rashi Numbers 21:27) will I now give you (Midrash Tanchuma, Balak 6).

כי כבד אכבדך, “for I will greatly honour you.” He meant that he would pay him handsomely.

More than you have received in the past. For if not so, how would he know how to honor him? Perhaps the entire honor that he would give him would still not come to half of the honor due to him.

וכל אשר תאמר אעשה, “and everything you will say (to me) I shall do;” Balak referred to anything he could do to facilitate such a curse on the Israelites he would do.
