Comentario sobre Isaías 5:13
לָכֵ֛ן גָּלָ֥ה עַמִּ֖י מִבְּלִי־דָ֑עַת וּכְבוֹדוֹ֙ מְתֵ֣י רָעָ֔ב וַהֲמוֹנ֖וֹ צִחֵ֥ה צָמָֽא׃
Por tanto mi pueblo fué llevado cautivo, porque no tuvo ciencia: y su gloria pereció de hambre, y su multitud se secó de sed.
Rashi on Isaiah
because of lack of knowledge because their heart was without knowledge.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ועם כבודו ═ וכבודו And the people of his glory, according to the rule of ellipsis; in the same way מח׳ צחה צמא ═ צחה צמא Men dried up with thirst.23It is not clear why Ibn Ezra assumes the ellipsis of עחה ,מתי being an adjective agreeing with המון; even if it were a noun, thirst, and an ellipsis is to be assumed, that of המון is the one which recommends itself most as being more in accordance with the instances of ellipsis usually quoted by Ibn Ezra (see note 16); perhaps he read מֵתֵי רעב dying of hunger, instead of רעב מְתֵי men of hunger (that is, hungry men), and constructed accordingly the following phrase מֵתֵי צחה צמא ‘dying of thirst.’

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
צחה is nearly the same as צמא thirsty; comp. בצחצחות in drought (58:11); צח (18:4), the pure and dry air.24The words of the Hebrew text, ונזרתו האור הזך והצח, are corrupt. ונזרתו demands a biblical quotation containing some word of the root צח, and this is not given. Very probably the original had האויר הזך והצח ונזרתו כחם צח עלי אזר. The translation of the passage is based on this emendation.
