Ibn Ezra on Numbers 2:4/אבן עזרא על במדבר ב׳:ד׳
אופקודיהם. או ופקודיו. אין הפרש ביניהם:
1AND HIS HOST (U-FEKUDEHEM). Scripture could have read u-fekudav (and his host).11 There is no difference between the two terms.12 literally means and their host. U-fekudav means and his host. I.E. indicates that Scripture employs the singular for the plural, as the Bible uses collective nouns.
