What is the meaning of "va'Tiska b'Yased"?

1.

Radak (13): She [did like he said in verse 13 1 , and then] inserted a peg, lest the pole (around which the fabric is rolled) roll away.


1

The verses are concise. It does not say that she did so, nor that he told her to insert a peg, but it is understood. Refer to 13:7:4:1*. (PF)

2)

Why does it not say that Pelishtim sat in ambush in the room, like the first times (verses 9, 12)?

1.

Malbim: After she lied to them twice, they no longer heeded her words.

3)

Why does it say that he woke? It does not say so the previous times!

1.

Radak: Also the previous times she tied him when he was asleep, lest he object. (The Navi revealed this only here.)

2.

Metzudas David: Previously, she tied him up while awake. He would not let her weave his hair, for a Nazir may not even comb his hair, lest hairs be uprooted. She did so while he slept. 1


1

After seeing that when he slept, she did to him what is forbidden, why did he later tell her the truth?! Refer to 16:6:1:1*.

4)

What is "ha'Yesad ha'Ereg"?

1.

Radak: It is the peg inserted into the pole around which the fabric is rolled (lest it separate). Sometimes, there is a prefix Hei before a Semichus (compound noun), e.g. "ha'Lishkos ha'Kodesh" (Yechezkel 46:19). Or, a word is missing; it should say ha'Yesed, Yesad ha'Ereg.
