Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 17:16/אבן עזרא על דברים י״ז:ט״ז
אלא תוסיפון. מצוה היתה ולא נכתבה ויש אומרים מטעם לא תוסיפו לראותם עוד עד עולם וזאת דרך אחרת:
1YE SHALL HENCEFORTH RETURN NO MORE. This was a commandment that was not written down.40 [to Egypt]. The problem is that Scripture does not record such a command earlier. Hence I.E.’s comment. Some say that this law is derived from ye shall see them again no more for ever (Ex. 14:13). However, the latter has a different meaning.41
