Ibn Ezra on Exodus 36:7/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ו:ז׳
אוהמלאכה. שהיתה עשויה:
1FOR THE STUFF. The work which was done.14. Its literal meaning is: and the work was, which I.E.’s interprets as the work which was done. I.E. disagrees with the definition of melakhah as stuff.
בומ"ם דים. שב אל כל החכמים:
2[SUFFICIENT.] The mem of dayyam (sufficient) refers to all of the wise men.15 of dayyam is a suffix meaning for them, the reference being to the wise men mentioned in verse 4.
גלכל המלאכה. שהיו צריכים לעשות:
3FOR ALL THE WORK. That they had to do.
דוהותר. שם הפועל, וטעם והותר הותירה:
4AND TOO MUCH. Ve-hoter (and too much) is an infinitive. Its meaning is, ho-tirah (and they produced more than enough).16 is here to be interpreted as a feminine perfect, for ve-hoter refers to melakhah, which is feminine. The work which they had done produced more than enough. So Filwarg.
