Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 1:15/אבן עזרא על ויקרא א׳:ט״ו
אומלק. אין לו אח במקרא ומשפט המליקה מדברי הקבלה:
1PINCH. The word malak (pinch) has no brother in Scripture.86 We know the laws of “pinching” from our tradition.87 “cuts with his nail against the nape of the neck of the fowl and cuts its neck until he reaches the organs and severs them” (Rashi). Also see Zevachim 65a; Chulin 21b.
בונמצה דמו. מבנין נפעל מגזרת מצית:
2AND THE BLOOD THEREOF SHALL BE DRAINED OUT. Ve-nimtzah (shall be drained out) is a nifal. It is related to the word matzit (drained) (Is. 51:17).
