Ibn Ezra on Exodus 5:20/אבן עזרא על שמות ה׳:כ׳
אויפגעו. תחסר מלת והם היו נצבים, וכמוהו "ופרעה חולם" (ברא' מא א) היה חולם, והנה היה עומד על היאור ורבים ככה:
1AND THEY MET. The words “who were” are missing.129. Our text should be read as if written: who were standing.130 And Pharaoh dreams (Gen. 41:1)131 is similar. Its meaning is, and Pharaoh was dreaming. Similarly, and behold he was standing by the river (Ibid.).132 There are many other such instances in Scripture.133
