Ibn Ezra on Genesis 48:2/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ״ח:ב׳
אויגד. המגיד ליעקב, או האומר ליוסף, או היה שליח מיעקב:
1AND ONE TOLD JACOB. Someone told Jacob.3 (and he told) is omitted. Or it may refer to the one who said to Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick. On the other hand, he may have been a messenger sent by Jacob.4 refers to a messenger sent by Jacob to Joseph requesting that he come to see him. This messenger came back and he told Jacob…Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee.
