Exegesis
The emphatic hineni {הִנְנִי | hinēnî} ‘behold, I’ foregrounds the speaker, followed by the participle holekh {הוֹלֵךְ | holekh} ‘going’ marking a circumstantial clause with leami {לְעַמִּי | leʿammî} ‘to my people’ as indirect object.
In context — Numbers 24:14
And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, let me advise you , what this people will do to your people in the latter days .
