Ibn Ezra on Exodus 27:10/אבן עזרא על שמות כ״ז:י׳
אומלת חשקיהם. דבוקיהם, כי הווים ידבקו אל העמודים כי ותדבק נפשו (ברא' לד ג) כמו חשקה נפשו:
1[AND THEIR FILLETS.] The meaning of chashukehem (their fillets) is their attachments, the hooks being attached to the pillars.38 Va-tidbak nafsho (and his soul did cleave) (Gen. 34:3) means the same as chashekah nafsho (his soul longeth) (Gen. 34:8).39. It then repeats the same account. However, in the latter it employs chashekah nafsho in place of va-tidbak nafsho. We thus see that davak and chashak have the same meaning.
