What will be the consequence of "mi'Panav Yachilu Amim"?

1.

Malbim: Nations will fear them, and not dare to fight them.

2)

What is "Farur"?

1.

Rashi: It is a pot. This is like "u'Vishelu ba'Farur" (Bamidbar 11:8). The Aleph is extra; it is not pronounced. Radak - the Aleph is to extend the vowel under the Fei.

2.

Malbim: It is Pe'er (beauty).

3)

What is the meaning of "Kibetzu Farur"?

1.

Rashi: It is black like a pot [Radak #1 - due to the locusts. Targum Yonasan is like this.]

2.

Radak #2: Some say that Kibetzu is like "v'Chochavim Asfu Nagham 1 " (10; they held back their light).

3.

Malbim: Every face, its beauty is withheld, amidst fear and sadness.

Radak citing his father: This is wrong. We never find Kibetz in place of Asifah. It says "Esof Yadecha" (Shmuel I, 14:19) - it never says Kevotz Yadecha. It says "va'Ye'esof Raglav El ha'Mitah" (Bereishis 49:33); it does not say va'Yikbotz Raglav. It says "v'Ein Ish Me'asef Osi" (Shoftim 19:18); it does not say Mekabetz Osi. It does not say Kibetzu Nagham (rather, "Asfu Nagham" (10)). Kibutz applies to something scattered, and Asifah to what is not scattered.
