Ibn Ezra on Genesis 2:1/אבן עזרא על בראשית ב׳:א׳
אויכלו, מהבנין שלא נקרא שם פועלו, ומשקלו ויכסו כל ההרים (בראשית ז, יט) וטעמו נשלמו, והים בכלל הארץ, כי הם כאגודה אחת
1WERE FINISHED. Va-yekhullu is a pu’al. It follows the paradigm of va-yekhussu (were covered) in and all the high mountains…were covered (Gen. 7:19). Its meaning is: were finished. The earth includes the oceans since they form one entity.1, rather than, And the heaven, the earth and the oceans were finished.
