Why does it say "Lech Imi Bo va'Chadarecha"?

1.

Rashi #1: This is Hashem's answer to the Navi. Come with Me in your rooms - Batei Midrashos and Batei Kenesiyos.

2.

Rashi #2 (from Tanchuma): Contemplate your deeds in the chambers of your heart.

3.

Radak: The verse applies to the war of Gog and Magog. There will be affliction for Yisrael for a short time. It is a metaphor. "Come with me in your room, and close the door after you" - hide (be protected) via good deeds and full Teshuvah.

Why does it say "u'Sgor Delasecha Ba'adecha"?

What do we learn from "Chavi Chim'at Rega Ad Ya'avor Za'am"?

1.

Brachos 7a: This teaches that Hashem's wrath is a Rega 1 (about 1/15th of a second).

2.

Rashi: Hide a little until the anger passes. Really, I will pay your haters. .

3.

Radak #1: In a short time, the anger will pass and the good will be saved - "Kol ha'Nimtza Chasuv ba'Sefer" (Daniel 12:1). Chavi is feminine (wait); it refers to Ami. Am is usually masculine, but sometimes it is feminine, e.g. "Madu'a Shovevah ha'Am ha'Zeh 2 " (Yirmeyah 8:5), "v'Chatas 3 Amecha" (Shemos 5:16).

4.

Radak #2: Chavi is a noun. Its grammatical form is like Shevi and Tzevi.


1

7a: Alternatively, we learn from "Ki Rega b'Apo" (Tehilim 30:6).

2

Am is feminine (Shovevah) and masculine (ha'Zeh) in this verse. (PF)

3

Ibn Ezra (Shemos 5:16); V'Chatas is a verb, in the feminine past; the Vov switches it to the future.
