Ibn Ezra on Exodus 32:32/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ב:ל״ב
אועתה. כבר פירשתי בס' דניאל וספרין פתיחו (דניאל ז י) כי כל הגזרות על הכללים ועל הפרטים הם במערכות השמים, וככה הודו חכמים בני חיי ומזוני רק השם יוסיף בעבור יראתו כאשר פירשתיו:
1YET NOW…BLOT ME, I PRAY THEE, OUT OF THY BOOK. I have already explained in my comments on And the books were opened, in the Book of Daniel (7:10), that all the decrees regarding masses and individuals are contingent upon the arrangements in the sky.154 Our sages have already admitted that children, longevity, and prosperity [depend upon the influence of the stars].155 28a: “Raba said: longevity, children, and prosperity are not contingent on one’s merits but on one’s star.” However, God, as I have explained, increases the good which the heavenly arrangements have decreed because of a person’s fear of the Lord.
