Exegesis
The prepositional phrases le-bilam {לְבִלְעָ֔ם | lə-vil-ʿām} and velasarim asher itto {וְלַשָּׂרִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ | wə-la-sā-rîm ’ă-šer ’it-tô} specify the recipients and their attendants. Rendering “portions” captures the distribution of sacrificial gifts rather than a mere message, and the translation preserves the vav-consecutive narrative flow.
