Commentary for Isaiah 65:24

וְהָיָ֥ה טֶֽרֶם־יִקְרָ֖אוּ וַאֲנִ֣י אֶעֱנֶ֑ה ע֛וֹד הֵ֥ם מְדַבְּרִ֖ים וַאֲנִ֥י אֶשְׁמָֽע׃

And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

טרם I think that it means yet, and with the preposition ב before.33Comp. I. E. on Ex. 9:30, where he refutes the opinion of Rashi, that לא ═ טרם not, and on Ex. 10:7, where he explains הטרם תדע, dost thou yet wish to know. The meaning of the passage is: I shall readily give them all that they shall ask of me.
