Ibn Ezra on Genesis 27:7/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״ז:ז׳
אלפני מותי. כמו בטרם אמות:
1BEFORE MY DEATH. Before I die.8 (before) means in the presence of. It might conceivably be rendered immediately before (in the presence of) my death, hence I.E.’s comment. For the same reason Filwarg explains I.E.’s comment as meaning: while I yet live.
