What does the first "Ein" teach?

1.

Malbim: It refers to below - we did not remove our clothes. The word is repeated.

2)

Why did they not remove their clothes?

1.

Rashi: They guarded zealously, constantly.

3)

What do we learn from "Ish Shilcho ha'Mayim"?

1.

Rashi: This refers to "Ein" above. This is like "Yetzei Asak mi'Pichem" (it refers to "Al" earlier in that verse). No one removed his garment to lie down or wash 1 it in water. This is a repetition of "Ein Anachnu Poshetim." Shilcho is removing one's garment. The Targum of "u'Fashat Es Begadav" is v'Yashlach.

2.

Ibn Ezra#1: Shilcho is his sword. They did not remove their garments or put down their weapons. When they went to the Mishteh 2 at night, their weapons were in their hands.

3.

Ibn Ezra #2: Shilcho is removing one's garment, like the Targum of "u'Fashat Es Begadav." They removed their garments only to bathe or immerse. This Perush is primary.


1

Malbim: Shilcho is sending. No one sent his garment to a launderer to wash it in water.

2

Usually, Mishteh is a drinking party. Perhaps here it merely means a meal. Do not say that the text should say 'Mishmar' - there is no Chidush that they went holding weapons! (PF)
