Ibn Ezra on Numbers 14:43/אבן עזרא על במדבר י״ד:מ״ג
אכי על כן שבתם. הואיל ושבתם כמו כי על כן לא נתתיה:
1FORASMUCH AS YE ARE TURNED BACK. Ki al ken shavtem (forasmuch as ye are turned back) means, since you turned back.70 means since. The literal meaning of ki al ken is “for on yes.” Hence I.E.’s comment. Compare, since (ki al ken) I gave her not (Gen. 38:26).
