Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 16:6/אבן עזרא על דברים ט״ז:ו׳
אבערב כבוא השמש. פירשתיו:
1AT EVEN, AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN. I have explained this previously.26
במועד צאתך ממצרים. שב אל פסח כי מועד חדש האביב יצאו ממצרים ואיננו דבק עם כבוא השמש:
2AT THE SEASON THAT THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF EGYPT. The reference is to the Passover offering, as the Israelites left Egypt in the month of Aviv. It27. is not connected to at the going down of the sun.28 refers to thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering, not to at the going down of the sun, which precedes At the season, etc., for the Israelites did not leave Egypt at the going down of the sun.
