Why does it say "v'Timeisem"?

1.

Radak: When the verse addresses the nation, sometimes it uses the singular for the Klal, and sometimes the plural for the individuals. V'Timeisem means to consider it Tamei. Chizkiyah said so about the idols that his father Achaz made. He told the Leviyim "remove the Nidah from the Kodesh"; "they removed all Tum'ah that they found in the Heichal

What is "Afudas"?

1.

Rashi: It is beauty. Malbim - even though it is merely an adornment for idolatry, Tizrem

3)

What do we learn from "Tizrem Kemo Davah"?

1.

Shabbos 82a #1: This is the source that an idol has Tum'as Masa (one who moves it becomes Tamei). Just like a Davah (Nidah) has Tum'as Masa, also an idol.

2.

Shabbos 82a #2: "TiZRem" teaches one to consider idols foreign to himself, like a Zar.

3.

Rashi: [Idols] should be repulsive in your eyes like a Nidah.

4.

Radak: Make it flow to a far place, like a Nidah, who dwells in a place far from her husband during the days of her Nidah 1 .

5.

Malbim: It should be Zar to you like a Nidah, who is Tamei mid'Oraisa.

What is the source that a Nidah should be far from her husband? (PF)

What do we learn from "Tzei Tomar Lo" ?

1.

Shabbos 82a: Do not tell it to come.

2.

Radak #1: Tell the idol to go outside

3.

Radak #2: "Tzei" is like Tzo'ah. Also the Mesorah says that it is 1 an expression of filth. Malbim - it should be abhorrent to you like excrement, which is naturally repulsive.

So Kli Paz cites Radak, It seems that 'Leis' is a printing mistake; it should be omitted. (PF)
