What is "Ge Gevul"?

1.

Targum Yonasan: This is the border. Rashi ? Zeh Gevul (the Gimel is in place of a Zayin 1 ), like "u'Nsaticha l'Vag la'Goyim" (25:7) is like l'Vaz 2 .

2.

Rashi: Ge is like Gai (a canyon).

3.

Malbim: Ge is an expression of "v'Lo Yigheh Mikem Mazor" (Hoshe'a 5:13), i.e. He will widen the border from where it was before.

1

Radak: They are interchanged according to At-Bach (we exchange Aleph with Tes, Beis with Ches?)

2

There, it is written l'Vag, and we pronounce it l'Vaz! (PF)

2)

What do we learn from "li'Shnei Asar Shivtei Yisrael"?

1.

Malbim: This is a promise that all 12 Shevatim will be found; no Shevet will be lost 1 at the time of great dispersion.

1

Even if one of the other Shevatim were omitted, they would be 12 if Efrayim and Menasheh count as two (refer to 47:13:3:1), and Levi is counted! Perhaps even in Nach, we can say that this cannot be, for then the words do not teach anything. (PF)

3)

What is the meaning of "Yosef Havalim"?

1.

Rashi, Targum Yonasan: Yosef will receive two portions ? one for Menasheh, and one for Efrayim. Radak ? this is like initially.

2.

Malbim: They will be more than they were before, so He will give to them more than they received the first time; the borders of the land will widen.
