What do we learn from "El he'Harim Lo Achal"?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: On the mountains he did not serve idolatry, to eat offerings to dead [gods]. Radak ? they used to offer sacrifices on mountains, like it says 1 , and eat them there. "El" is like Al; the same applies to many verses.

What are "Gilulei"?

Why does it mention Eshes Re'ehu [and Nidah]?

1.

Sanhedrin 81a: He did not adopt his colleague's profession (in a way forbidden due to taking away his business).

2.

Radak: After mentioning idolatry, which is Bein Adam la'Makom and is equal to all the Aveiros, it mentions Aveiros Bein Adam l'Chavero, e.g. Arayos that man is close to [transgressing] them. It need not mention relatives, for most people refrain from them, even Resha'im.
