Exegesis
The construct makom akher {מָק֤וֹם אַחֵר | māqôm ʾaḥēr} ‘another place’, followed by the relative clause asher tirenu misham {אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּרְאֶ֣נּוּ מִשָּׁ֔ם | ʾăšer tirʼēnû miššām} ‘where you will see it from there’, establishes a limited vantage.
In context — Numbers 23:13
And Balak said to him, “Go, please, with me to another place , where you will see it from there. Only its edge you will see; you will not see all of it. And curse it for me from there.”
