What are the connotations of "Ha'anek Ta'anik lo"?

1.

Rashi #1: It means 'Adorn him in a way that is clear for all to see the good you have done for him'. 1

2.

Rashi (in Pasuk 15): And from the double expression "Ha'anek Ta'anik, we learn that we should give the Eved Ivri double of everything, just as Hashem did to us when we left Egypt - Refer to 15:15:1:1.

2)

Why does the Torah use the double expression "Ha'anek Ta'anik"?

2.

Kidushin, 17b: To teach us that the master is obligated to give the Eved Ivri Ha'anakah, even if the house was not blessed on account of him.

4)

Why does the Torah add the (otherwise superfluous) words "Asher Berach'cha Hashem Elokecha"?

1

Rashi: Which can multiply - to preclude mules, which cannot breed.

5)

Seeing as "Asher Berach'cha Hashem Elokecha" is all-inclusive, why does the Torah insert "mi'Tzoncha, mi'Gorn'cha u'mi'Yilkvecha"?

Rashi: Refer to 15:14:2:1*.

2.

Kidushin, 17a: "mi'Tzoncha" teaches us that he should give animals and "mi'Gorn'cha", what grows from the ground 1 , a "mi'Yikvecha" precludes money 2 - which is not subject to B'rachah.
