Ibn Ezra on Exodus 14:28/אבן עזרא על שמות י״ד:כ״ח
אוישובו המים. שהיו חומות:
1AND THE WATERS RETURNED. The waters that were walls returned.
באפילו אחד לא נמלט, וכן והנה לא מת ממקנה ישראל עד אחד (למעלח ט, ז), והמשורר אמר "אחד מהם לא נותר" (תה' קו יא):
2SO MUCH AS ONE OF THEM. Even one of them did not escape.137 (literally, until one) means so much as one. Similarly ad echad in and, behold, there was not so much as one (ad echad) of the cattle of the Israelites dead (Ex. 9:7). Indeed, the poet says, There was not one of them (echad me-hem) left (Ps. 106: 11).138 means so much as one.
