Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
לא Unto him.5A. V., Not. The original reading is לו unto him, as the Masorah recommends; comp. Ps. 100:5; there are some more instances of the same kind. According to the Gaon, the meaning of לא יאסף is: Will not die; he generally explains both the Keri and the Ketib;5aComp. c. ix. Note 2. but what I said, is nevertheless right, and לא of the text is the same as לו, as the Grammarian R. Jehudah explained.6The quiescent letter after Holem (ō) which is also called mater lectionis, is generally ו, but sometimes א, so that לא can sometimes he written for לו. See Two Treatises, etc. ed. John W. Nutt, p. 11 (p. 13 in the Engl. Transl.).
