Ibn Ezra on Genesis 41:34/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ״א:ל״ד
איעשה פרעה. זו העצה או יקנה, כמו עשה לי את החיל הזה (דבר' ח יז),
1LET PHARAOH DO THIS. Ya’aseh paro (literally let Pharaoh do) is short for let Pharaoh do according to the following council. Or ya’aseh (do) means get, like asah in My power and the might of my hand hath gotten (asah) me this wealth (Deut. 8:17).52 means let Pharoah get. Also according to this interpretation the object is missing. It should be read: Let Pharaoh get wheat (Weiser).
בוחמש שיקנה החומש:
2AND TAKE UP THE FIFTH PART OF THE LAND. Let him buy a fifth of the produce of the land.
