BrLXX Ὅτι ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ὄψομαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπὸ βουνῶν προσνοήσω αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ λαὸς μόνος κατοικήσει, καὶ ἐν ἔθνεσιν οὐ συλλογισθήσεται.
(Hoti apo korufaʸs oreōn opsomai auton, kai apo bounōn prosnoaʸsō auton; idou laos monos katoikaʸsei, kai en ethnesin ou sullogisthaʸsetai. )
23:1-30 As a diviner, Balaam performed rituals to interpret omens and ascertain Israel’s future (cp. 23:23; 24:1). Balak had summoned him to pronounce imprecations, but God repeatedly prohibited him from doing so.
• It is possible that these sacrifices were connected with the practice of extispicy—the examination of animal livers or other organs for an omen concerning the future. According to ancient Near Eastern texts, this form of fortune-telling was a widely practiced and highly developed art. Such practices were banned from Israel (see Deut 18:9-14; cp. Ezek 21:21).

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when from,top rocks see,him and,from,hills watch,him see people to/for,apart living and,in/on/at/with,nations not consider )
These two phrases mean the same thing. Balaam viewed Israel from the top of a hill.

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when from,top rocks see,him and,from,hills watch,him see people to/for,apart living and,in/on/at/with,nations not consider )
Here “him” is a metonym that refers to the people of Israel.
(Occurrence 0) there is a people
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when from,top rocks see,him and,from,hills watch,him see people to/for,apart living and,in/on/at/with,nations not consider )
Alternate translation: “there is a group of people”

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when from,top rocks see,him and,from,hills watch,him see people to/for,apart living and,in/on/at/with,nations not consider )
This negative statement is used to stress that the opposite is true. Alternate translation: “they consider themselves to be a special nation”
