Ibn Ezra on Genesis 24:67/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״ד:ס״ז
אהאהלה שרה אמו. דרך קצרה, האהלה אהל שרה אמו, וכן "הנבואה עודד הנביא" (דה"ב טו ח) "כסאך אלהים" (תהלים מה ז):
1INTO HIS MOTHER SARAH’S TENT. This is short for the tent, tent of Sarah his mother.71. Now a word with the emphatic heh cannot be in the construct Hence the verse literally reads: the tent Sarah his mother. I.E. maintains that an additional word, tent, has to be added to the text. The text should be read as if written, the tent, tent of Sarah his mother. More literally, the tent, Sarah his mother’s tent. Even the prophecy of Oded the prophet (II Chron. 15:8)72 (even the prophecy, Oded the prophet). I.E. suggests, for the reasons given in note 67, that the word nevu’at (prophecy of) is to be supplied by the reader. The verse should thus be read: the prophecy, Oded the prophet’s prophecy, more literally, even the prophecy, prophecy of Oded the prophet. and Thy throne given of God (Ps. 45:7)73 cannot be in the construct. The verse literally reads: Thy throne, God. I.E. suggests the word kisseh be inserted after thy throne. The verse is to be explained: Thy throne, God’s throne, more literally, Thy throne, throne of God. are similar.
