Why does it say "va'Yishma Aleihem" (with an Ayin)?

1.

Radak: This is like Aleihem (with an Aleph. Often Al (with an Ayin) means El, e.g. "va'Yelech Elkanah ha'Ramasah Al Beiso" (Shmuel I, 2:11) is like El Beiso. Va'Yishma implies that they asked him to show to them, and he agreed. Targum Yonasan implies like this.

What is "Beis Nechoso"?

1.

Rashi: It is where fragrances are hidden, like "Nechos u'Tzri va'Lot" (Bereishis 37:25).

Radak: It is Beis Chemdaso, i.e. everything [desirable] that he has. Afterwards the verse details what were the desirable things. Also "Nechos u'Tzri va'Lot" (Bereishis 37:25) is something desired.
