he bows down

This is an act of humility. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)

with his eyes open

Here "eyes open" is an idiom that means Balaam has received the ability to know what God wants to say. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, the place where you live, Israel!

Both of these statements mean the same thing. They emphasize the Israelite camp was beautiful to Balaam. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
