Why is your guilt attributed to murder?

1.

Malbim: The primary guilt and punishment is due to murder.

2)

Why does it say "va'Takrivi Yamayich"?

1.

Radak: With your evil, you brought close the days of your Galus and Churban.

2.

Malbim: For murder, your destruction will come close.

3)

Why does it say "uv'Gilulayich Asher Asis Tameis"?

1.

Radak (3): It is a great Tum'ah.

2.

Malbim: There is Kaparah for the Asham (guilt) after receiving the punishment. However, you are still Tamei due to idolatry.

4)

What is "Ad Shenosayich"?

1.

Rashi: It is the decree "v'Noshantem [ba'Aretz; ? Ki Avod Tovedun]" (Devarim 4:25-26).

2.

Radak: This is like Yamayich (the days of your Galus and Churban); the matter is repeated in different words. Here it says v'Tavo (masculine); above it said va'Takrivi (feminine). The feminine corresponds to the Edah and the masculine to the Am.

3.

Malbim: After your downfall and Galus will begin years in which every day's curse is greater than the previous day's. Also among the Goyim you will not find rest.

5)

How are you "Cherpah la'Goyim"?

1.

Radak: The Goyim revile and disgrace you for abandoning your G-d's Torah. They did not abandon their gods' Torah! This disgrace is in their mouths; they rule over you, and do not fear reviling you. This is the opposite of the honor and fear that they would have of you if you did Hashem's will ? "v'Ra'u Kol Amei ha'Aretz Ki Shem Hashem Nikra Alecha v'Yar'u Mimeka" (Devarim 28:10).

2.

Malbim: From Yerushalayim they came to nearby Goyim; there, they were Cherpah. From the Goyim they spread to distant lands; there, they were l'Kalasah.

6)

What is "Kalasah"?

1.

Rashi: It is gossip.

2.

Radak: It is mockery. The same applies to "v'Hu ba'Melachim Yiskales v'Rozenim Mischak Lo" (Chabakuk 1:10).
