Commentaire sur Isaïe 2:12
כִּ֣י י֞וֹם לַיהוָ֧ה צְבָא֛וֹת עַ֥ל כָּל־גֵּאֶ֖ה וָרָ֑ם וְעַ֖ל כָּל־נִשָּׂ֥א וְשָׁפֵֽל׃
Oui, l’Éternel-Cebaot fixera un jour contre l’orgueilleux et le superbe, contre quiconque s’élève: ils seront abaissés;
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ושפל He shall be brought low. The ו changes the past into a future; 20וְשָׁפֵל could be taken as co-ordinate with נִשָּׂא, that which is high and that which is low; Ibn Ezra rejects this explanation, and takes ושפל as the past turned into future by the ו conversive. comp. וטהר he shall be clean (Lev. 22:7)
