Ibn Ezra on Genesis 26:15/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״ו:ט״ו
אבא סמיכות בארות על שני דרכים:
1[WELLS.] When the word be’erot is in the construct it can be vocalized in one of two ways.13 (wells) in our verse is in the absolute. In such cases it is always vocalized sheva, tzere, cholam. However, when in the construct it can either be vocalized sheva, tzere, cholam, as in verse 18, or segol, chataf segol, cholam as in Gen. 14:10.
