Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 28:54/אבן עזרא על דברים כ״ח:נ״ד
אאשר יותיר. האויב או יותירם בהחבא וכל זה בעבור המצור:
1WHOM HE HATH REMAINING. This refers to the enemy.86 literally means he will leave over. According to this interpretation the verse reads, which the enemy will leave alive. Or it means which he will leave over by hiding them.87 refers to the man mentioned in the opening of the verse. Our verse should be interpreted, which he will save by hiding them. All of this will he due to the siege.
