Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 24:4/אבן עזרא על דברים כ״ד:ד׳
אהטמאה. כנגד בעל ראשון והנה טעמו טמא' היא לו בעבו' שידע' איש אחר ודגשות הטי״ת בחסרון תי״ו התפעל וכן הכבד את הנגע:
1AFTER THAT SHE IS DEFILED. With regard to the first husband. Its meaning is defiled to him because another man knew her. The tet of huttamma’ah (she is defiled) receives a dagesh to compensate for the missing tav of the hitpa’el.8. Similarly the word hukkabbes (is washed) in after that the plague is washed (Lev. 13:55).9 with the tav of the form omitted. The latter is compensated by placing a dagesh in the caf.
בולא תחטיא. צווי לישראל:
2AND THOU SHALT NOT CAUSE THE LAND TO SIN. This is a command to Israel.
