Ibn Ezra on Genesis 35:16/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ה:ט״ז

אכברת הארץ. יתכן להיות הכ"ף לדמות ויהיה ברת מדת המלך ואין ריע לו במקרא:
1SOME WAY. It is possible that the caf of kivrat (some way) is a preposition meaning similar to12 (some way) is to be interpreted ki-verat, as a brat. and that brat is a distance measured by walking.13. 38. The printed editions read: a king’s measure. The word does not appear elsewhere in Scripture.14 does appear in II Kings 5:19. Krinsky suggests that I.E. means it doesn’t appear elsewhere in the Pentateuch. Cherez maintains that I.E. means that the word berat is not found in Scripture.
