Ibn Ezra on Genesis 40:16/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ׳:ט״ז

אסלי חורי. אמר הגאון שהוא לחם לבן כמו,"חורי יהודה" (נחמי' ו יז):
1THREE BASKETS OF WHITE BREAD. Saadiah Gaon says that chori means white bread, as in the nobles (chore)29 (literally, the white ones) because they are metaphorically speaking as the color white which resembles light.” of Judah (Neh. 6:17).
