Exegesis
The infinitive compounds letitti lahalōkh immākhem {לְתִתִּי לַהֲלֹךְ עִמָּכֶם | ləṭīttî lahălōḵ ʿimmākhem} express the denied permission to accompany. This structure emphasizes both the deity’s decisive refusal and the resulting prohibition on Balaam’s journey.
In context — Numbers 22:13
And Balaam arose in the morning and said to the officials of Balak, “Go to your own land, for the LORD has refused to give me permission to go with you.”
