An idiom is a collection of words which means more than
the sum of the meanings of each of the phrases' individual words.
Verse
Nu22-39a
discussing
the place Bilam and Balak went to when Bilam arrived
states
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to outside village.
Rashi explains:
The phrase
outside village
is an idiom meaning
a village specializing in many open outside markets on the streets
We can compactly combine the Rashi comment with the Biblical text
by translating as follows:
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Market village.
