How will Hashem return His hand on Yerushalayim?

1.

Rashi: Blow after blow, until the sinners are eradicated.

2.

Radak: Time after time, until I refine you, and you remain clean. The Sigim and Bedil are the Resha'im.

2)

What is "ka'Bor"?

1.

Rashi: It is an expression of Boris (soap). It is an expression of cleansing, like "u'Var Levav" (Tehilim 24:4), for it cleans the garment from its stains.

2.

Radak: Like the matter that is Mevarer (clarifies and selects) the silver from the Sigim, and [the silver] remains clean.

3)

What are "Sigayich"?

1.

Rashi: Above (23) "Kaspech Hayah l'Sigim" is copper mixed with silver. Also here it is a mixture of Resha'im with Kesherim. I will eradicate the sinners, who are the Sig.

4)

What are "Bedilayich"?

1.

Rashi: It is Bedil (tin) mixed with silver, i.e. sinners among you. Radak - the plural includes all mixtures mixed with it.

5)

Why does it say both "va'Etzrof

1.

Malbim: First I will refine the silver in a smelting pot, to separate all Sigim from the silver. Then I will remove all Bedilayich - they will not be found in the world at all. There will not be found people who mix in inferior metals to fake [pure] silver.
