Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

הולים They lavish gold, etc. Many compare this word with אזל is spent3aLiterally: is gone. The literal translation of הזלים accordingly is: that cause to go, that is, that spend. I. E. properly objects that ולים, if participle Kal of אול, has a neuter sense, they that go. (1 Sam. 9:7), and assume here the elision of the first radical (א) ; but it is in fact hap. leg.; for אזל is intransitive. הזלים means who give. מכיס Out of the bag. The bag is a part of the balance; comp. בכיסך in thy bag (Deut. 25:13). The succeeding בקנה has a similar meaning; it is hap. leg.
