Here you go again, confusing Chazal and the Pasuk. By the way, the Ibn Ezra was frowned upon by many for just that reason. However, you can see the Maharal in his Be’er Hagola, where he explains where the Ibn Ezra and others where coming from, although he himself disagreed with that approach. He says that they are merely explaining the flow and the simple reading of the Pasuk.
