Ibn Ezra on Exodus 36:33/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ו:ל״ג
אומלת לברוח. מהבנין הקל, וטעם כמו מבריח שהוא מהבנין הכבד כמו, ירה, ויורה (מ"ב יג יז) ורבים ככה:
1[TO PASS THROUGH.] The word livro’ach (to pass through) is a kal. It has the same meaning as the hifil mavri’ach (pass through).41 is a participle. What I.E. means is that the word livro’ach (to pass through), which is an infinitive in the kal has the same meaning as the word le-havri’ach (to pass through), which is a hifil infinitive. Indeed, this is precisely what I.E. says in his short commentary. We find the same with the words yereh (shoot)42 is a kal. and va-yoreh (and he shot)43 is a hifil. (II Kings 13:17).44 There are many such instances.45
