Ibn Ezra on Genesis 20:18/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ׳:י״ח
אומלת כל רחם טענה עליהם ומלת וַיֵלֵדו לנשים כמו "ויחמו הצאן" (בראשית כט לט):
1However, the presence of the phrase all the wombs (v. 18) clearly refutes their interpretation. The term va-yeledu (and they bore children) is used when referring to women even though it is a masculine form. Compare, va-yechemu ha-tzon (and the flocks conceived) (Gen. 30:39).49, rather than va-yechemu ha-tzon. In the same manner Scripture says, va-yeledu (and they bore), which is a masculine form, rather than va-teladnah, which is a feminine form.
