Chasydyzm do Sędziów 7:5

And in the holy Zohar, [it is written] that Balak sent for Balaam, since he had the first two letters of Amalek in him, whereas Balak had the last two letters. And it can be explained that behold since Balaam had the power of speech, it is necessary to say that he also had the power of thought, for it makes little sense to have the power of speech without the power of thought. And behold, it is well-known about Amalek that he was a destroyer, son of a destroyer, who separated between the mind and the heart. That is to say that, even though the mind analyzes, the traits of the heart are not moved by it. And this separation is possible in three ways: It can be from the side of the mind that impacts — since the mind is weak, such that it does not enlighten the depths of the heart. Or it can be from the side of the receiver, meaning that the heart is closed and does not accept the enlightenment of the mind. Or it can be from both of them together. And they are hinted to in the letters of Amalek. The first letters, ayin, mem, are an expression of dimming aimum, which is the darkening of the mind. And the last two, lamed, kof are an expression [like the usage], like a dog laps up [yalok] (Judges 7:5), and that is the craving of the physical to fill its desire. As that is the idea of a dog, to receive without impacting. This is like it is in the Talmud Nedarim (24a:3), " I am not a dog, that I benefit from you and you do not benefit from me." And the craving of the heart only to fill its desire is the closing off of the heart from the enlightenment of the mind. For anyone who is running after his desire has his heart sealed and closed from any wisdom. And so, Amalek — which is the ultimate cutting off and division — had all four letters. But behold, Balaam, who had an evil eye, which is from the angle of thought that is related to the mind, had the two first letters. Whereas Balak had the last two letters, in that his action came from the power of the traits that are ascribed to the heart. But Balaam also had something additional, in that he also had the power of speech in him, he whom you bless is blessed, etc. (Numbers 22:6). This is something that Sihon and Og did not have, as they were separated branches, as mentioned above. And it makes sense that Amalek — in that both of the bad forces were in one person, as mentioned above — also had the power of speech as well, which comes from a combination of the mind and the heart, as mentioned above. And that is [the meaning] of Balak's sending for Balaam. As, in the two of them, they have all four letters of Amalek, such that all of the evil forces, thought, speech, and action, were completed in them. Hence they would have the power to stand up against Moses, as mentioned above.
