Definitions for Numbers 23:20
Barnes's Numbers 23:20 Bible Commentary
I have received commandment to bless - literally, "I have received to bless." The reason of his blessing lay in the augury which he acknowledged, and in the divine overruling impulse which he could not resist, not in any "commandment" in words.
