Commentary for Isaiah 11:2
וְנָחָ֥ה עָלָ֖יו ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֑ה ר֧וּחַ חָכְמָ֣ה וּבִינָ֗ה ר֤וּחַ עֵצָה֙ וּגְבוּרָ֔ה ר֥וּחַ דַּ֖עַת וְיִרְאַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ונחֽה And shall rest. Comp. ושבֽה (Lev. 23:13), And she shall return. It is a verb 4The rule is that the third person feminine past Kal of verbs ע״ו has the accent on the first syllable, but with Vav conversive on the second.—I.E. means perhaps to say that ונחה is derived from נוח, not from ינח..(נוח) ע״ו
