Why are the B'rachos and K'lolas here presented in the singular - "u'Ba'u alecha Kol ha'Berachos" ... 'u'Ba'u alecha Kol ha'K'lalos" (Pasuk 45), as opposed to those in Bechukosai, which were said in the plural "Venasati Gishmeichem be'Itm" ... "Vehifkadti aleichem"?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because, whereas the B'rachos and the K'lalos are communal B'rachos and K'lalos, here, they are individual, where each B'rachah and K'lalah might fall on Re'uven but not on Shimon. 1

Refer to 28:23:2:1. See Oznayim la'Torah.

2)

What are the implications of "Vehisigucha"?

1.

Seforno: It implies that the B'rachos will reach you even if you make no effort to attain them.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah: It implies that when it rains, the rain will fall in locations where it is needed, which will not hppen if Yisrael sin after Hashem decreed a bountiful rainfall. 1

See Oznayim lla'Torah.

3)

Why does the Torah repeat "ki Sishma be'Kol Hashem Elokecha"?

1.

Seforno: To teach us that this (the B'rachos will reach you even if you make no effort refer to 28:2:1:1) will come about only if we make 'our Torah is fixed, and our work, haphazard.'
