Numbers 5:3

5:3 You must expel both men and women; you must put them outside the camp, so that ¹  they will not defile their camps, among which I live.”

Numbers 22:37

22:37 Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send again and again ²  to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?” ³ 

[5:3]  ¹ tn The imperfect tense functions here as a final imperfect, expressing the purpose of putting such folks outside the camp. The two preceding imperfects (repeated for emphasis) are taken here as instruction or legislation.

[22:37]  ² tn The emphatic construction is made of the infinitive absolute and the perfect tense from the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “to send”). The idea must be more intense than something like, “Did I not certainly send.” Balak is showing frustration with Balaam for refusing him.

[22:37]  ³ sn Balak again refers to his ability to “honor” the seer. This certainly meant payment for his service, usually gold ornaments, rings and jewelry, as well as some animals.
