Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
רצוצים9The Hebrew text has before רצוצים the words העשוקים משפט, which are in no connection with the preceding remark; they are either the explanation of רצוצים, and should be placed after that word, or they are the result of the carelessness of some copyist, who had erroneously repeated them here from the succeeding remark, and forgot afterwards to strike them out; the latter suggestion is probable, since the explanation of רצוצים is complete without these two words. The oppressed. The slaves that are oppressed; comp. רצוץ oppressed (Hos. 5:11); רצתי have I oppressed (l Sam. 12:3). Some understand to loose the bands, etc., to refer to the thoughts of man; but I prefer the first explanation.
