What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mashiach Kelaty’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Applause] This is an exchange between and already Hashem said to Bam, "Don't go and curse the Jewish people. Don't go with these men on this nefarious mission to go and and and curse the Jews. Of course, Bam not being one to take no Of course, Bam not being one to take no for an answer. Again, he's further urging Hashem to let him go and curse the Jews. And then we see from this puk that I just quoted something very unusual because Hashem already when he said no seems in this pock to have changed his mind because it says and I I'm quoting again if they're calling for you in other words if these people who want you to go words if these people who want you to go and curse the Jewish people are calling for you then you can go with them. So what changed? Hashem's word is final. If Hashem says no, it means no. Hashem doesn't change his mind. So what is it here that Hashem said, well, you know, if they've asked you, then you can go. So Rashi gives us the answer. Rashi says, you know what Rashi is telling us here? Rashi is telling us that these people who were urging Bam to go and curse the Jews, they now offered to pay Bam for his services. They were going to give him money. So originally when Hashem said to Bam, "Don't curse the Jews." That was when he was not offered any money and now he was offered a small fortune
