Rashi: As the Pasuk indicates in Tehilim, 83:3, 4. Hadar Zekenim: The reason for this is because they tell Yisrael to transgress Hashem's Mitzvos, as the Pasuk writes in Tehilim, 83:3 & 4 "Al Amcha Ya'arimu Sod ... ". We also find that "Nikmas B'nei Yisrael" is called "Nikmas Hashem" (See Matos Bamidbar, 31:2 & 3).

What does the Torah mean when it writes "Yochleimo ka'Kash"?

Rashi: Refer to 15:5:1:1.

Targum Yonasan: It means that Hashem's anger consumed them like fire consumes stubble.
