Komentaryo sa Mga Bilang 24:25: Or HaChaim, Rabbeinu Bahya, Chizkuni & Ibn Ezra

ויקם בלעם וילך Bileam rose and went on his way, etc. The only reason the Torah tells us this detail is to inform us that he did not even go to his inn before setting out homeward bound. Nonetheless the Torah had to add the extra words: "he returned to his place" instead of merely saying: "he went to his place," to tell us that he went with his head held high, not like a fugitive. Had the Torah only written: "he arose and went," I would not have known if he went maintaining his usual posture. The Torah also informed us that Bileam went back to his home as he had been told to do by Balak. When the Torah adds that Balak went on his way (at the same time), this is to tell us that he did not see Bileam off.

ויקם בלעם, “Bileam rose up.” As soon as Bileam concluded his prophecies he rose on his feet as he had not been standing when making all these predictions. He had described himself as נופל וגלוי עינים, “fallen and with uncovered eyes (24,5).”

וישב אל מקומו, “he returned to his place.” This means he reverted to relying on charms, etc., instead of on Divine inspiration. He found that he had become privy to Holy Spirit only temporarily for the benefit of the Jewish people as I mentioned earlier.
