2)

Why does the Torah insert the (otherwise superfluous) word "la'Chodesh ha'Shevi'i ha'Zeh"?

3)

See Na'ar Yonasan on Emor, 16:29.

4)

Seeing as the Torah does not use an epression of Achilah, what is the Shi'ur that negates Inuy?

1.

Refer to Vayikra, 23:29:1:1 and note.

5)

Why does the Torah say that the Inuy (fast) of Yom Kipur is on the ninth?

1.

Berachos (8b): To teach us that anyone who eats and drinks on the ninth, the Torah considers it as if he fasted on the ninth and the tenth. 1

Moshav Zekenim: This implies that it is better to fast on the ninth! Rather, the Torah considers it as if we were commanded to fast [also on the ninth], and we fasted. Really, we are commanded to eat, and one is rewarded if he eats extra.
