Should Hashem distance His hand from him?
1.
Rashi: He should distance His Kefiyah (coercion), like Elihu said "v'Achpi Alecha Lo Yichbad."
2.
Rashi: Some say that this refers to His Kaf (hand 1 ).
3.
Ibn Ezra: It is Your Makeh; the known plague was via the hand, like "Yad Hashem Hoyah."
4.
Malbim: Your hand, i.e. the afflictions, should cease at the time of the debate.
1
Rashi: This is difficult. We never find Kaf for punishment, only to protect, e.g. "v'Sakosi Chapi"!
2)
What is the request "v'Emasecha Al Teva'a'sani"?
1.
Malbim: I should not be confounded at the time from Your grandeur. Fear of afflictions or His grandeur would block his claims.
