FOOT — and, in the plural, an OCCASION: ‘three regalim’ means three times. ⭐ Numbers 22:28 is where the double sense pays: the she-ass asks why Balaam has struck her zeh shalosh regalim, these three times — and that exact phrase stands in four verses of the Hebrew Bible, three of them here (vv28, 32, 33) and the fourth at Exodus 23:14, the law of the three annual PILGRIMAGES: shalosh regalim tachog li ba-shanah. The festivals are called ‘feet’ because you walk to them. ⚠ No version can show both senses at once, and none tries; the TLB alone brings the pilgrimage out at Exodus 23:14. In the same chapter the singular does its literal work at v25, where the she-ass crushes Balaam’s regel against a wall — and the related verb ragal, to spy, is to go about on foot. → first discussed at Num 22:28
