Exegesis
In the clause kol ’ăšer-yedabber Yəhôwāh ’ōṭō ’eʿəseh {כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֹתוֹ אֶעֱשֶׂה} ‘all that the LORD will speak, that I will do’, the relative pronoun ’ăšer links divine speech to human action, while ’ōṭō highlights the direct object. The fronting of kol intensifies the totality of obedience, and the parallel structure between YHWH’s speaking and Balaam’s doing underscores the unbreakable bond between divine command and human response.
