Ibn Ezra on Exodus 13:12/אבן עזרא על שמות י״ג:י״ב
אוהעברת. תעביר לשם שלא יתערב עם אחר, והנה אלה שתי מצות צוו ביום ט"ו:
1THAT THOU SHALT SET APART. Thou shalt set it apart unto the Lord so that it does not get mixed up with another. Now these two precepts40 were commanded on the fifteenth day.
בשֶׁגֶר. על משקל אֶרֶץ שלא ישתנה בסמיכה רק נמצאו מלות זרות ואלה הם, שְׁגַר אלפיך (דבר' ז יג) ובחֲדַר משכבך (למעלה ז כח), הֲבל הבלים (קהלת א ב), מספח חֲמָתְךְ (חבקוק ב טו) וסגור דְלְתךָ (ישעי' כו כ) לא מצאתי יותר:
2COMING OF. Sheger41. (coming of) follows the paradigm of eretz (land of) whose vocalization does not change in the construct. However, a number of irregular cases42 whose vowels change to sheva, pattach in the construct. are found. They are: shegar (the increase of)43, as in our verse. in the increase of thy kine (Deut. 7:13), chadar (chamber of)44. in and in the chamber of thy bed (Ex. 7:28), havel (vanity of)45. in Vanity of vanities (Eccles. 1:1), hamatekha (thy venom)46. in That puttest thy venom thereto (Hab. 2:15), and delatekha (thy doors)47. in and shut the doors (Is. 26:20). I have not found any additional instances.
