Exegesis
The verse opens with the interrogative pronoun mi {מִי | mî} ‘who’ to introduce a rhetorical question emphasizing the impossibility of counting a people.
In context — Numbers 23:10
Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the upright , and may my end be like his.
