Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 32:36/אבן עזרא על דברים ל״ב:ל״ו
אכי ידין ה' עמו. יקח דין עמו מהם כמו שפטני אלהים וריבה ריבי:
1FOR THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE. God will exact judgment from Israel’s enemies on behalf of His people. It is like Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause (Ps. 43:1).342
ביתנחם. פירשתיו:
2AND REPENT HIMSELF. I have previously explained this.343
גאזלת יד. אזלת יד ישראל והטעם הכח והתי״ו תחת ה״א כי גם שתיהן סימני הנקבה וכן ושבת לנשיא:
3THEIR STAY IS GONE. The stay of Israel. Yad (stay) means the strength. The tav of azelat is in place of a heh,344 is a variant of azelah. The latter is the usual form of the third person perfect feminine. Azelat has the form of a construct. Hence I.E.’s comment. for both the heh and the tav are signs of the feminine. The word ve-shavat345 is a third person feminine perfect. (then it shall return) in then it shall return to the prince is similar (Ezek. 46:17).
דואפס עצור ועזוב. כאשר יהיו הנשבי' רבים ילקחו מהם ויעזובו מהם ועתה כמעט יאבד הכל:
4AND THERE IS NONE REMAINING, SHUT UP OR LEFT AT LARGE. When the captives are numerous, the captors take some of them and leave others, but in this case almost all are lost.346
