הוֹגַעְתֶּ֤ם יְהוָה֙ בְּדִבְרֵיכֶ֔ם וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם בַּמָּ֣ה הוֹגָ֑עְנוּ בֶּאֱמָרְכֶ֗ם כָּל־עֹ֨שֵׂה רָ֜ע ט֣וֹב ׀ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה וּבָהֶם֙ ה֣וּא חָפֵ֔ץ א֥וֹ אַיֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י הַמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
Kamu telah menyusahkan Yang Mahakekal dengan perkataanmu. Namun kamu berkata: “Dengan apa kami menyusahkan Dia?” Dengan kamu berkata: “Setiap orang yang berbuat jahat baik di mata Yang Mahakekal, dan kepada merekalah Ia berkenan”; atau: “Di manakah Allah yang menegakkan keadilan?”
Kli Yakar
“And he shall be forgiven.” The reason why the language of forgiveness is not mentioned regarding the anointed priest, as it is mentioned regarding the congregation, the leader, and the individual, is explained by Ramban as follows: Due to the priest’s high status, he will not be completely atoned for, because he is a messenger of the Lord of Hosts (Malachi 2:7), and his sin is too great to bear until he prays and beseeches his God. And Abarbanel wrote that what is said in the sin offering of the congregation, and they shall be forgiven, refers to both the priest and the congregation, including them together because both sinned in the matter of instruction by permitting what is forbidden.
Or HaChaim
Bileam may have something even more far-reaching in mind here. He perceived that because the Jewish people, both the average ones and the elite, perform Torah and the commandments, this "compensates" G'd in a manner of speaking for all the other nations who have not as yet embraced monotheism and acknowledged the kingdom of G'd on earth. Were it not for the מצוה-performance by the Israelites G'd would have destroyed the other nations long ago and would not have displayed so much patience vis-a-vis them. According to this we translate the words לא הביט און, "G'd did not closely scrutinise the sins of the Gentile nations on account of Jacob." Similarly, "He did not even glance at the sins of the Gentile nations superficially, לא רה עמל, on account of Israel, the righteous ones amongst the Jewish people." Our sages have pointed out more than once that as long as the Jewish people observe the Torah G'd lavished His goodness and abundance on the whole of mankind. All the Gentile nations enjoy prosperity and well being thanks to the conduct of Israel. As a result of this, the mere idea of destroying Israel by means of a curse is tantamount to suicide; by whose merit would the Gentile nations continue to exist then? Yet another meaning of Bileam saying: "and He saw no perversity in Israel," may refer to the way G'd receives all the "twittering" of the righteous Israelites who are constantly "bothering" G'd about something or other. G'd does not find this tiresome; it is not burden-some, עמל for Him. Compare Maleachi 2,17: "You have wearied the Lord with your talk."
