Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 32:25/אבן עזרא על דברים ל״ב:כ״ה
אגם בחור. דבק עם תשכל חרב:
1BOTH YOUNG MAN. This261 is connected to Without shall the sword bereave.262 Scripture reads gam (both)263 (so young man).
בוטעם גם. כמשפט הלשון כאשר פירשתי. והנה חבר הכל בחורי' וגם בתולות זקנים עם נערים:
2The word also is out of place here. in accordance with the rules of the Hebrew language, as I have previously explained.264 (also) to the first object.” Look, the Torah includes265 all: young men, virgins, old men, and youths.
