Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
הַשְׁכֵחִים That forget, (lit., that are forgetful). It is an adjective,9I. E. explains שְׁכֵהִים to be an adjective, although it governs an accusative, since the participle is שֹׁכְחִים; or he means by שם תאר the participle, and שְׁכֵחִים would in that case be another form of the participle, that could be compared with יראים, the only form of the participle Kal of ירא, to fear. similar in form to יְרֵאִים afraid (1 Sam. 23:3).
