About the Ibn Ezra on Tanach on TorahSages

28 sefarim · 614 perakim

Rabbi Avraham ibn Ezra (1089–1164) of Tudela wrote his peirush on the Chumash on the road — in Italy, Provence, northern France and England — after leaving Spain. He reads the pasuk through dikduk and the plain meaning of the words, states in his introduction which ways of explaining he will not take, and says the rest in the fewest words he can, so that “the wise will understand.” On Shemot he left two editions, the short and the long.

On TorahSages Ibn Ezra appears in the Tana"ch text (Chumash, Neviim, Ketuvim) and the other mefarshim of the Mikraot Gedolot — the Ramban answers him by name on many a pasuk — and the Torah chapter pages link the leining of each parsha.
