NETBible

But God said to Balaam, “You must not go with them; you must not curse the people,¹ for they are blessed.”²

NET Notes

¹tn The two verbs are negated imperfects; they have the nuance of prohibition: You must not go and you must not curse.

²tn The word בָּרוּךְ (barukh) is the Qal passive participle, serving here as the predicate adjective after the supplied verb “to be.” The verb means “enrich,” in any way, materially, spiritually, physically. But the indication here is that the blessing includes the promised blessing of the patriarchs, a blessing that gave Israel the land. See further, C. Westermann, Blessing in the Bible and the Life of the Church (OBT).
