Ibn Ezra on Genesis 40:19/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ׳:י״ט
אבעוד. בטרם עוד וטעמו לא יעבור עוד כך זמן עד שיהיה זה:
1WITHIN YET. Be’od (within yet) is to be translated before again.30 means again. The bet prefixed to it means before. Thus be’od means before again (within yet), and the meaning of be’od sheloshet yamim (within yet three days) is before three days again pass. I.E. makes this point because Onkelos translates be’od, after yet. Thus Onkelos renders be’od sheloshet yamim at the end of three days. Its meaning is: such a time31 will not again pass without this happening.
בישא פרעה את ראשך מעליך. ישאנו ממקומו, וטעמו יסירנו או ירימנו על עץ:
2SHALL PHARAOH LIFT UP THY HEAD FROM OFF THEE. He will lift it up from its place. It means he will remove it or raise it up on a pole.32 may mean to remove or to raise up (Cherez).
