Exegesis
The construct sequence məloʾ bêytô {מְלֹא בֵיתוֹ | mə-lōʾ bêy-tô} ‘fullness of his house’ denotes totality, reinforced by the asyndeton késēp̄ wə-zāhāv {כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב | késēp̄ wə-zā-hāv} ‘silver and gold’.
In context — Numbers 24:13
Even if Balak gave me the full contents of his house, silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the mouth of the LORD to do good or evil from my own heart; what the LORD says, that I will speak.
