Ibn Ezra on Genesis 35:7/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ה:ז׳
אוטעם כי שם נגלו אליו האלהים. המלאכים, כמו "והנה מלאכי אלהים" (בראשית כח, יב):
1[BECAUSE THERE GOD WAS REVEALED TO HIM.] Elohim (God) refers to angels.4) is in the plural. If elohim meant God then revealed would be in the singular (Cherez). Compare, And behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it (Gen. 28:12).5 in our verse refers to the same angels whom Jacob saw in Beth-el (Gen. 28:12).
