Ibn Ezra on Exodus 32:10/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ב:י׳
אוהנה רמז לו אם לא בעבור כבוד משה היה משמיד אותם, על כן הוצרך להתפלל:
1NOW THEREFORE LET ME ALONE, THAT MY WRATH MAY WAX HOT AGAINST THEM, AND THAT I MAY CONSUME THEM.] God hinted to Moses that were He not concerned with Moses’ glory, He would destroy Israel.19 implies that Moses is preventing God from destroying Israel. Hence Moses was compelled to pray.20
