Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 16:10/אבן עזרא על דברים ט״ז:י׳
אמסת. דגשות הסמ״ך להתבלע הנו״ן והמלה מגזרת נס כטעם הרמת יד:
1AFTER THE MEASURE. The samekh of missat (after the measure) receives a dagesh to compensate for the missing nun.57 from the root nun, samekh, samekh. Missat is related to the word nes (banner). It means the lifting of the hand.58 (after the measure of the freewill-offering of thy hand) means the lifting of the freewill-offering of thy hand. Scripture uses the term lifting when it deals with an offering to the sanctuary. Compare the word trumah (offering), which literally means a lifting.
בנדבת ידך. לעולה ולשלמי':
2THE FREEWILL-OFFERING OF THY HAND. For burnt offerings and peace offerings.
