Ibn Ezra on Genesis 45:22/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ״ה:כ״ב
אחליפות שמלות. מלבושים אין זה כמו זה והפחות שתים:
1CHANGES OF RAIMENT. Two garments, each different from the other, two being the minimum for a plural.15 (changes of raiment) is in the plural. The minimum of the plural is two. Hence two garments are implied. Had Scripture intended more than two their number would have been listed, as in the case of Benjamin. Chalifot (changes) implies each garment was different from the other. He didn’t give them two identical garments (Cherez).
