Commentators like Ellicott and Gill note that this verse is a deliberate repetition of a previous blessing in Numbers 23:22. This repetition is not accidental; it powerfully reinforces the certainty and unchangeable nature of God's promise. By stating it again, God, through Balaam, is emphatically confirming His commitment to bless Israel with strength and victory.
