Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 33:26/אבן עזרא על דברים ל״ג:כ״ו
אאין כאל ישורון. שב לברך הכלל:
1THERE IS NONE LIKE UNTO GOD, O JESHURUN. Moses goes back to bless all of Israel.
ברוכב שמים. פירוש שהוא תקיף והעד שהוא רוכב שמים:
2WHO RIDETH UPON THE HEAVEN. That is, who is mighty. The fact that He rideth upon the heaven is proof of this.
גובגאותו שחקים הטעם בגאותו הם עומדים:
3[AND IN HIS EXCELLENCY ON THE SKIES.]169 It means, the heavens stand by God’s might.170 (in His excellency) by His might. Therefore And in His might the skies is short for and by His might the heavens stand. I.E. renders our verse as follows: He who rides upon the heavens is your help, and He [so too is] by whose might the heavens stand.
