Liturgy sobre Números 23:41

[Our] Rock, Your Name is Almighty of Vengeance, why do You appear as asleep? Year after year the vine which Your right hand planted is most oppressed and afflicted, it [Israel] is bought and sold; Your people are nick-named with degradation but in fact are not degraded. Your judgement is just, for no sentence is passed without justice. But take vengence for the [Torah of] faith which was given from Your right hand, and in which it is written: “Who can count.”⁶See Numbers 23:10, “Who can count the dust of Jacob.” Yet now we are counted like sheep; my Rock, be aroused, I beg You destroy our enemy from its base, and uproot its kingdom, God, Adonoy is my strength. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.

and in which it is written: “Who can count.”⁶See Numbers 23:10, “Who can count the dust of Jacob.”

And it is said: “He beheld no iniquity in Yaakov, nor did He see wrongdoing in Yisrael; Adonoy, His God is with him, and the love of the king is among them.”²⁶Bamidbar 23:21.

He realized that Yisrael was a unique nation in the eyes of Hashem, their King, and thus were invulnerable to his curses.

Rashi says that Hashem was King of Yisrael only when the tribes of Yisrael were united. When there is unity and harmony among Jews, the kingdom of Hashem is revealed and enhanced.
