Ibn Ezra on Genesis 21:33/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״א:ל״ג
אאשל. אילן גם ויטע לאות:
1A TAMARISK-TREE. Eshel (a tamarisk tree) is a tree.19 to mean an inn (Sotah 10a), hence I.E.’s comment. The word va-yitta (and he planted) which precedes it is also proof of this.20 is a tree, our verse also indicates the same.
