הִנֵּ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה הִשְׁמִ֙יעַ֙ אֶל־קְצֵ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ אִמְרוּ֙ לְבַת־צִיּ֔וֹן הִנֵּ֥ה יִשְׁעֵ֖ךְ בָּ֑א הִנֵּ֤ה שְׂכָרוֹ֙ אִתּ֔וֹ וּפְעֻלָּת֖וֹ לְפָנָֽיו׃
看哪，永恆者已宣告到地極：你們要對錫安城說：「看哪，你的拯救來到了！看哪，祂的賞賜在祂那裡，祂的報償在祂面前。」
Ibn Ezra
When a woman conceives After completing the laws of ritually pure and ritually impure food, Scripture now discusses ritual impurity among people, beginning with the law of the new mother, because birth is a beginning. Many people claim that when a woman releases her egg before the man releases his sperm, she will give birth to a boy; and they cite this verse, pointing out “When a woman conceives…and gives birth to a boy”. The sages of Greece are of this opinion — that the woman contains the seed, while the man’s sperm is a congealing agent, and that children are congealed from the blood of the woman.
