He said, “It means, ‘Hand upon the throne of יהוה !’ יהוה will be at war with Amalek throughout the ages.”
Exodus 17:16
THE ETERNAL IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG. Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra explained that the word
ozi
(my strength) is connected with the following word [
v’zimrath
— and song], thus rendering its sense: “my strength and the song of my strength is the Eternal.”
This is my G-d ‘v’anveihu':
I will make Him a habitation, [from the root
naveh
(habitation)]. This is

Ramban on Exodus 15:2:1
"When the Israelites left Egypt," as it says in the verse (Psalms 105:38), "Egypt was glad when they departed." Rabbi Berechiah said, "This can be compared to a meat seller riding on a donkey..."
