What is the question "u'Mi Chamoni Yikra"?

1.

Rashi: Who will call that he is like Me?

2.

Radak: Whoever is Elokim like Me, let him call the past and future events.

3.

Malbim: This addresses the deniers. You think that there is another G-d like Me - those who say that I am not Kadmon, there was a G-d before Me. Those who deny My unity, there is another G-d together with Me.

2)

What is "[mi'Sumi] Am Olam"?

1.

Rashi: It is all the creations.

2.

Radak: From creation of the world. When I created the creations, I put each in its boundary - higher beings above, and lower beings below.

3.

Malbim: Since there is existence, there must be something that perforce exists. Also the order of the world proves that a Chacham made it, and He always existed, for the order never changed.

3)

What are "Osiyos"?

1.

Rashi: They are wonders. Radak - i.e. let them tell wonders that happened from the creation until now.

4)

What does the verse say about matters to come?

1.

Rashi: Let them tell future matters, like I do now. The Bayis was not destroyed yet, and I did not exile them, and Koresh was not born, and I tell you about him!

5)

What is the meaning of "Lamo"?

1.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: This is like Lanu (to us).
