Ibn Ezra on Exodus 26:30/אבן עזרא על שמות כ״ו:ל׳
אוהקמת. שיאמר כן לחכמי הלב, או בעבור שהוא יקימנו בראשונה ואחרים עמו, כי יש צורך לרבים:
1AND THOU SHALT REAR UP THE TABERNACLE. Moses should tell this to the wise-hearted.122 means: and thou shalt command the wise-hearted to rear up the tabernacle. I.E. comments thus because it was impossible for Moses himself to rear up the tabernacle. Concerning who the wise-hearted are see Ex. 36:1. Or, Scripture states, And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle because Moses reared it up first.123 However, there were others with him,124 means, and thou shalt begin to rear up the tabernacle. for many people were required to rear up the tabernacle.
