Ibn Ezra on Genesis 38:28/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ח:כ״ח
אויתן יד. האחד מהם ולא נזכר שמו, כי עוד לא נקרא גם אלה במעשה פלא שנבקעו השליות יחד והשיב זה ידו ויצא אחיו:
1THAT ONE PUT OUT A HAND. One of them put out a hand. The latter is not identified by name because he was not yet named. This birth, too,39 was out of the ordinary in that both placentas opened simultaneously and when this one drew back his hand, his brother came out.
