Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 13:5/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״ג:ה׳
אעמד בעיניו. הטעם במראהו כי המראה הוא בעין וכל המפרשים אמרו שטעמו בעצמו והטעם כאשר היה:
1STAY IN ITS APPEARANCE. Amad be-enav25 means stay in its appearance. The term enav26 is employed, for its appearance is seen by the eye. All the commentaries says that beenav (in its appearance) means in its make-up, that is, in the way it was.27 (it remains as it was). Also see Rashi: “In its appearance in its original size.” According to this interpretation amad be-enav (stay in appearance) is to be rendered, remained as it was.
בפשה. כענין נפוש:
2SPREAD. Pasah means spread.
