Author Description

Abraham ben Meir ibn Ezra was one of the outstanding and colorful scholars of medieval Jewry. He was a poet, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, grammarian physician and philosopher. However, his chief claim to fame rests on his commentary on the Bible, especially on the Pentateuch, the five books of Moses. Ibn Ezra's commentary constitutes a major contribution to Biblical exegesis. One cannot be considered a true student of the Bible without having studied it. Ibn Ezra's works influenced all major Bible commentators. This commentary on NUMBERS is now available in an English translation.
