Komentarz do Izajasza 58:4
הֵ֣ן לְרִ֤יב וּמַצָּה֙ תָּצ֔וּמוּ וּלְהַכּ֖וֹת בְּאֶגְרֹ֣ף רֶ֑שַׁע לֹא־תָצ֣וּמוּ כַיּ֔וֹם לְהַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּמָּר֖וֹם קוֹלְכֶֽם׃
Oto na swary i zwady pościcie i aby uderzać pięścią niegodziwą; nie pościcie obecnie, aby usłyszany był na wysokości głos wasz.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
אגרף Some hard thing to strike with.5A. V., First. In this sense it is used in Rabbinical literature. Comp. בעלי אגרפין men with force (Pesachim 53); compare besides באגרף (Ex. 21:18).6In his commentary on Ex. 21:18, I. E. mentions this comparison in the name of Saadiah, while the other explanation, introduced here by the words, Others render it, is given, in his abridged commentary on Ex. 21:18, as his own, introduced by the word ויתכן, It is also right to say. Others7Very probably R. Jonah is meant, whose explanation is quoted in the commentary of I. E. on Ex. 21:18; he derived the word from the root גרף to sweep. render it a piece of hard earth, and connect it with מגרפותיהם their clods (Joel 1:17).
