What is the significance of healing "Meshuvasam"?

1.

Rashi: The Navi says, Ru'ach ha'Kodesh told me, since they will say so in front of Me, I will heal their waywardness.

2.

Radak: If you will do so, so He will answer you, that He will heal your waywardness and rebellion against Him until now.

3.

Malbim: The verse depicts their waywardness like a wound stuck to them. I will heal the wound via Teshuvah.

2)

What do we learn from "Ohavem Nedavah"?

1.

Rashi: I will love them with the munificence of My Ru'ach even though they do not deserve love. I will volunteer to love them, for "My anger departed from them."

2.

Sha'arei Teshuvah 1:42: This is like David said "v'Ru'ach Nedavah Sismecheni" (Tehilim 51:14). I was diminished due to my sin. I am not worthy of your miracles, and for Your Kadosh arm to be revealed on me. If You bore my sin, I am not worthy to be loved and pleasing like before. However, with Ru'ach Nedavah You support me - there is no end to Your Nedivus and good.

3.

Malbim: Not only will I bear [their sins in] the past - I will love them amidst munificence of the heart.

3)

Why did His anger depart from them?

1.

Radak, Malbim: It is because they repented. It says Ohavem (plural) for the individuals, and Mimenu (singular) for the Klal.
