Why did he say "Neged Hashem v'Neged Meshicho"?

1.

Malbim: You will not refrain from saying my sin due to flattery, for we are Neged (in front of) Hashem, nor will you fear, for we are Neged Meshicho (His king).

2)

What was the question about taking an ox or donkey?

1.

Rashi (from Tanchuma Korach 7): Did I take an ox for my work, or a donkey to go from city to city to judge them? I was entitled to take from them!

3)

What is the difference between "Ashakti" and "Ratzosi"?

1.

Rashi: Whenever an expression of Merutzeh is near Oshek, it is an expression of Oshek and Ratzutz, extorting the poor and downtrodden.

2.

Radak: Ashakti is monetary [affliction]; Ratzosi is bodily, like "Ashuk v'Ratzutz" (Devarim 28:33).

3.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: V'Yas Man Ashakis v'Yas Man Anasis (from whom did I steal, and from whom did I take by force?)

4.

Nedarim 38a: Ashakti is by force; Ratzosi is willingly. I.e. I did not even take one's money with his consent. Radak - Ratzosi is based on Ratzon, even though it is not the same root.

5.

Malbim: Oshek is withholding what belongs to another, e.g. wages. Ratzosi is to request a gift b'Ratzon (willingly). Or, it is from Ratzutz (broken). Even though it is worse than Oshek (if Lo Ashakti, all the more so, Lo Ratzosi!), it is a bigger Chidush regarding payment (I will pay all payments for bodily damage), and all the more so return money that I took.

4)

What is "Kofer"?

1.

Radak: It is [a bribe] to tilt the verdict.

2.

Malbim It is payment in place of Misah or lashes that one needed to receive.

5)

What is the meaning of "v'Alim Einai Bo"?

1.

Rashi, Targum Yonasan: And I overlooked [a claim] against him (because he paid me).

2.

Radak: If you are ashamed to say in front of me, I will hide my eyes and not see [who said so], and he will tell you, and I will return it.

3.

Malbim: It is not administering Misah or lashes [due to accepting ransom].

6)

Why did he say "v'Ashiv Lachem"?

1.

Rashi: I will return to you [whatever you say that I took].

2.

Malbim: I will return even Kofer [to exempt someone from bodily punishment, even though no one lost through this].
