Why does it say "u'Manisi"?
Radak: The verse uses an expression similar to the previous expression (la'Mani). This is a clear way of speaking, like "Gad Gedud Yegudenu", "Dan Yadin Amo" (Bereishis 49:16, 19), "v'Ekron Te'aker" (Tzefanyah 2:4). You serve a count of stars, and I will count you [to die via] the sword (refer to 65:12:2:1).
Malbim: Just like you count to mix wine, I will count you for the sword (refer to 65:12:2:1).
What is the significance of "v'Chulchem la'Tevach Tichra'u"?
Radak, Malbim: I will count you [to die via the sword], and not one of You will be missing.
Why does it say "Ya'an Karasi... Dibarti"?
Malbim: I called you to come to Me to hear My words, and you did not answer. After, I came to you and spoke My words, and you did not hear. You closed your ears from hearing anything 1 .
Perhaps the text should say 'Devarai' (from hearing My words). (PF)
Why does it say "[va'Ta'asu ha'Ra b'Einai] uva'Asher Lo Chafatzi Bechartem"?
Radak: This was rebellion to anger Me - you chose what I did not want.
Malbim: "Va'Ta'asu ha'Ra b'Einai" is transgressing Lavim. "Uva'Asher Lo Chafatzi Bechartem" - the Mitzvos that you did, you chose to do them. They are not what I desired. You invented them from your hearts!
