Commentary for Isaiah 32:14
כִּֽי־אַרְמ֣וֹן נֻטָּ֔שׁ הֲמ֥וֹן עִ֖יר עֻזָּ֑ב עֹ֣פֶל וָבַ֜חַן הָיָ֨ה בְעַ֤ד מְעָרוֹת֙ עַד־עוֹלָ֔ם מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ פְּרָאִ֖ים מִרְעֵ֥ה עֲדָרִֽים׃
For the palace shall be forsaken; The city with its stir shall be deserted; The mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, A joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Rashi on Isaiah
For the palace The king’s palace has been forsaken.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
The palace of the king. נטש, shall be forsaken; עזב, shall be left. Pual.16Instead of מהבנין הקל שלא וגו׳ is to be read נֻטָּשׁ .מהבנין הכבד שׁלא וגו׳ and עֻזָּב are participles of the Pual, the prefix מ having been dropped. See Zahoth, On the secondary conjugations (בנינים הנלקחים מאחרים). I. E. rejects the opinion of R. Moses Hakkohen, who says that forms like לֻקַּח are sometimes derived from the Kal, namely, when the Piel of that verb is not found in Scripture.
