Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 28:40/אבן עזרא על דברים כ״ח:מ׳
אלא תסוך. כמשפט וסוך לא סכתי. וזה הפך ושמן על ראשך:
1BUT THOU SHALT NOT ANNOINT THYSELF WITH THE OIL. As is the practice.72 Compare, neither did I anoint myself at all (Dan. 10:3). This is the reverse of And let thy head lack no oil (Eccles. 9:8).73
בכי ישל. מבנין נפעל:
2SHALL DROP OFF. Yishal (drop off) is a nifal.74.
