Ibn Ezra on Numbers 12:3/אבן עזרא על במדבר י״ב:ג׳
אענו מאד. במשקל שלו והטעם שלא בקש גדולה על אחיו:
1WAS VERY MEEK. The word anav26. (meek) is similar to the word shalev27. (at peace) (Job 16:12).28. In both words a vav has been substituted for a heh. Its meaning is that Moses did not seek honor over his brother.29
