Ibn Ezra on Genesis 38:24/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ח:כ״ד

אכמשלש חדשים. בתוס' מ"ם קודם שלש ובימים בתוס' מ"ם אחר שלש:
1ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER. When one speaks of three months a mem is prefixed to the word three.35 (three months) in our verse. When one speaks of three days a mem is suffixed to the word three.36 (three days ago) (Cherez). The Hebrew word for three is shalosh.
