Ibn Ezra on Exodus 2:19/אבן עזרא על שמות ב׳:י״ט
אותאמרנה. חן הוסיפו או לא הספיקו המים שדלו הם לצאן:
1AND THEY SAID. They embellished what Moses had actually done.152. Thus it was the daughters of the priest of Midian and not Moses who drew the water. Moses helped them and watered the flock (v. 17); however, he did not draw water for them. Or the water which they had drawn was insufficient for their flocks.153 (v. 17).
