Ibn Ezra on Exodus 32:18/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ב:י״ח
אויאמר. אמר הגאון כי גם אלה דברי יהושע ולפי דעתי שהם דברי משה והעד הכתוב אחריו, ויהי כאשר קרב אל המחנה (פ' יט):
1AND HE SAID. Saadiah Gaon says that Joshua also said this.100 refers to Joshua. However, I believe that these are the words of Moses.101 refers to Moses. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp which follows (v. 19) is proof of this.
בחלושה. שם, כמו גבורה:
2BEING OVERCOME. The word chalushah (overcome) is a noun. It is similar to the word gevurah102 (mastery).
גקול ענות. כמו נגינות וזהו ויקומו לצחק (פ' ו):
3THE NOISE OF THEM THAT SING. Anot (that sing) means tunes. This is what and rose up to make merry refers to (v. 6).
