Exegesis

The interrogative phrase ad-mah {עַד־מָה | ʿăḏ-māh} ‘until how long’ introduces a rhetorical temporal question leading to the Qal imperfect tishbekha {תִּשְׁבֶּֽךָּ | tišbēḵā} ‘carries you away captive’, where Asshur {אַשּׁוּר | ʾăš-šūr} ‘Assyria’ serves as the implied agent. The progression from vivid burning imagery to forced exile underscores the inevitability of the predicted deportation and heightens dramatic tension within Balaam’s prophecy.

Root and etymology

shin–bet–khetš-b-ḵ

“to seize, carry off”

In context — Numbers 24:22

Nevertheless the Kenite will be burned up , until Assyria carries you away captive.
