Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 28:61/אבן עזרא על דברים כ״ח:ס״א

איעלם ה'. מגזרת העלה ואם הוא חטוף וי״‎א כמו יביאם לשון ארמי:

1WILL THE LORD BRING UPON. Yalem (will bring) is related to the word he’elah (brought up)⁹⁷, and means bring up. (Jer. 16:15) even though it⁹⁸ is vocalized with a sheva. He’elah is vocalized with a chataf segol. Since both words are in the hifil we would expect them to be vocalized similarly. Hence I.E.’s comment. is vocalized with a sheva. Others say that yalem means will bring.⁹⁹ It is an Aramaic word.¹⁰⁰ in Aramaic means to enter. See Dan. 2:16.
