Verse
Nu24-20b,
discussing
the prophecies of Bilam on Amalayk,
states
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his discourse, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that of everlasting perdition.
Rashi clarifies the underlined words
first, end
by referencing verse(s)
Dt25-17:19,
discussing
the Biblical commandments on Amalayk
which states
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way, when you came forth out of Egypt;
How he met you by the way, and struck at your rear, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
######
Hence the Rashi comment:
The verse, Nu24-20b should be read as follows:
Amalayk was the first of nations [i.e. first
nation to attack the Jews after leaving Egypt]
and his end shall be destruction
[As the Torah commanded.]
