Exegesis
The Nifal participle nīṣṣāḇ {נִצָּב | nīṣṣāḇ} ‘standing’ designates the subject’s posture, while ʿal-ʿōlātō {עַל־עֹלָת֑וֹ | ʿal-ʿōlātō} literally ‘upon his burnt offering’ (here rendered “beside”) denotes spatial relation and construct possession.
In context — Numbers 23:6
And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the officials of Moab.
