What do we learn from "Amdu Alav Davagim"?
Radak: This river will be great. Fishermen will stand on it, for it will have many fish.
Radak citing Targum Yonasan: It will be a place for trappers to stand on it.
Why does it say "me'Ein Gedi v'Ad Ein Eglayim"?
Radak, Malbim: All this place, which is near the river, trappers' nets will be spread.
Malbim (according to the Nimshal): A place where they used to serve stars and Mazalos, and set a table for Gad, and switched their Honor for the form of an Egel. They served Mazal Tleh 1 (the lamb) and Mazal Shor. They thought that the Ayin (eye) of Gedi traverses the land and oversees it. There will be traps to draw Nefashos to Kedushah Emunah and Da'as.
Our verse mentions Gedi. Why does he say that they served Tleh? (PF)
What are "Charamos"?
Rashi: They are nets [to trap fish].
What is the meaning of "l'Minah Tihyeh Degasam"?
Rashi: There will be many species of fish. There is no Mapik (Dagesh, i.e. dot in the) Hei in l'Minah; it is plural, just like "veha'Dagah Asher ba'Y'or" (Shemos 7:21), "Kol Anchasah Hishbati" (Yeshayah 21:2).
Radak, Malbim: All species of fish will be there. Radak - there should be a Mapik Hei in l'Minah. The suffix Mem in Degasam refers to the rivers (their fish).
Malbim (according to the Nimshal): Those who are 'trapped' to Kedushah will be from all nations and languages.
What do we learn from "ki'Dgas ha'Yam ha'Gadol Rabah Me'od"?
Malbim: There will be great fish, like of Yam ha'Gadol. They will also be great in number.
Malbim (according to the Nimshal): There will be many Nevi'im and teachers teaching how to trap fish, i.e. to take the Nefashos, which were at the level of fish, the lowest living beings, and elevate them to be at the level of man, who speaks, grows wise and knows.
Malbim (according to the Nimshal): Also officers and great people from every sect will increase to know Hashem and take shelter in the shade of His wings.
