Exegesis
The restrictive ve-efes {וְאֶ֗פֶס | wə-ʾefes} ‘but only’ limits permitted speech to et-hadavar {אֶת־הַדָּבָ֛ר | ʾet ha-dā-vār} ‘the word’, which is specified by the emphatic Piel doublet asher adaber eilekha oto tedaber {אֲשֶׁר־אֲדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלֶיךָ אֹת֣וֹ תְדַבֵּ֑ר} ‘that I will speak to you, you shall speak it’, underscoring literal fidelity.
In context — Numbers 22:35
The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you; you shall speak it.” So Balaam went with Balak’s princes.
