3)

Why does it distinguish Yosheveha from Ashireha?

1.

Radak: Even though Yosheveha are not rich, they spoke Sheker. Even though they have no strategies to acquire great wealth, they speak Sheker for a small benefit.

4)

How do we explain "[Diberu Shaker] u'Leshonam Remiyah b'Fihem"?

1.

Radak: Their tongues in their mouths are deceptive. Remiyah is an adjective, with the grammatical form of Sheviyah, Aniyah.

2.

Malbim: Their simple Dibur (speech) is blatant Sheker, and their speech of understanding, which is attributed to the tongue, is deception. They swindle to the point that the Sheker is not recognized.
