Ibn Ezra on Genesis 38:12/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ח:י״ב
אוינחם יהודה. פי' אחר שקבל תנחומין
1AND JUDAH WAS COMFORTED. After Judah received condolences26 for his wife’s death he went up unto (al) his sheep shearers.
בעל על גוזזי צאנו, על תחת אל:
2Al is to be understood as el (unto).27 means on. Our verse literally reads: And went up on (al) his sheep-shearers, hence I.E.’s comment.
