The Torah with Commentary by Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra. Vayikra. Bemidbar. Devarim

Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089–1164) was a philosopher, poet, mathematician, astronomer, philologist, and above all a great commentator on Scripture. He lived and worked in Muslim Spain, then was forced to leave and wandered from Egypt to Britain. He wrote... in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin. Distinguished by their historical and philological rigor, concise style, and critical spirit, Ibn Ezra's commentaries on the Torah are not only widely known — they are studied almost on par with Rashi's commentaries. In the introduction to these commentaries, Ibn Ezra defines his goal as an independent study of the literal meaning of the biblical text. Ibn Ezra's commentaries are based primarily on etymological and grammatical interpretations, but no less on his personal views of the world. It is generally believed that it is Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra who penetrates into the secrets of Scripture, not mystical, but accessible only to a great mind burdened with much knowledge. This translation is based on the most modern critical editions of the text. The commentaries are accompanied by notes that clarify difficult-to-understand passages or concepts that are less familiar to the Russian reader. Previously, within the framework of this multi-volume edition, extensive commentaries by Ibn Ezra on the first two books of the Pentateuch: Bereshit and Shemot were published. The final third volume of the edition includes commentaries on the last three books: Vayikra, Bemidbar, and Devarim. Since they are relatively small in volume, they are usually published under one cover.
