Exegesis
The adversative vehinne {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hîn-nē} ‘but behold’ introduces the reversal, and YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} as subject of mena‘akha {מְנָעֲךָ | mə-nā-‘a-ḵā} ‘has prevented you’ foregrounds divine agency.
In context — Numbers 24:11
And now, flee for yourself to your place! I said, “I will surely honor you.” But behold, the LORD has prevented you from honor.
