Ibn Ezra on Exodus 13:11/אבן עזרא על שמות י״ג:י״א
אוהיה. הזכיר הכנעני לבדו כי הוא אב לכולם:
1AND IT SHALL BE. Moses mentions only the Canaanite, because he was the father of them all.38
בוטעם נשבע לך. כמו "כי לך ולזרעך אתן את כל הארצות האלה" (ברא' כו ג:
2[AS HE SWORE UNTO THEE.] Its meaning is similar to for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give this land (Gen. 26:3).39 means as He swore unto your fathers to give this land to you their seed (Krinsky), as we do not find God taking this oath to the generation enslaved in Egypt.
