What is the meaning of "Betach Badad"?
Rashi #1 and Seforno: It means that they will dwell in safety, 1 each person under his vine and each person under his fig-tree. 2
Rashi (in Sanhedrin, 104a): 'In security and peacefully'. It is unnecessary to place troops to guard them. They dwell alone without fear of Nochrim or of wild animals.
Targum Yonasan: It means that they dwelt in safety like in times gone by. 3
Da'as Zekenim and Rosh: They will dwell alone. 4
Seforno: As the Pasuk states in Yehoshua, 11:23.
Rashi: Spread out - without need to gather together to protect themselves from the enemy. It is not like the "Badad" (meaning lonely) that the Navi spoke of in Yirmiyah, 15:17.
See Na'ar Yonasan.
As the Pasuk writes in Mishlei 14:10 "u've'Simchaso Lo Yis'arev Zar".
What are the connotations of "Ein Ya'akov"?
Hadar Zekenim (24) [This Brachah applies to Tzadikim] like Ya'akov, including righteous converts, but not to Resha'im or to Nochrim. 3
Rashi: Like "ke'Ein ha'Bedolach", in Bamidbar 11:7.
Rashi: In Bereishis 48:21.
It seems that Da'as Zekenim and Rosh hold like this, just some words are missing. (PF) As in Bamidbar 23:9 "u'va'Goyim Lo Yischashav".
See Seforno.
Seforno: Who will shower Yisrael with Torah like dew
What are the implications of "Af Shamav Ya'arfu Tal"?
Rashi: 'Also the B'rachah of Yitzchak, in addition to that of Ya'akov - "ve'Yiten l'cha Elokim mi'Tal ha'Shamayim... ". 1
Seforno: It is a Tefilah that, in the days of Mashi'ach, 2 the heavens will automatically shower dew in abundance on to a land (that produces by itself) grain and wine. 3
Targum Onkelos: 'Also the heavens above will serve them by providing them with dew'.
Targum Yonasan: 'Also the heavens rained on them dew of blessing and rain of goodwill'.
See Bereishis, 27:28.
Seforno: As it did during the six days of the creation - before Adam sinned. See Bereishis, 2:5 & 6.
