Who swallows him?
1.
Rashi: The verse is abbreviated; is omitted 'the one who takes payment from him.'
2.
Ibn Ezra: It is as if he was swallowed.
3.
Devar Eliyahu: The body is swallowed from its place - the house.
4.
Malbim: The owner of the garden uproots it from its place.
2)
Who denies seeing you, and how?
1.
Rashi: His place. No trace is left of him - not a branch or root. It is as if he never was. This is unlike a Tzadik who falls - he rises. This one does not rise.
2.
Devar Eliyahu: The money denies. "I did not see you" refers to the children - he will not see them again.
