Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 9:21/אבן עזרא על דברים ט׳:כ״א
אואת חטאתכם. נקרא העגל חטאת. על כן הוסיף לבאר ואמר את העגל:
1AND I TOOK YOUR SIN. The calf is referred to by the term sin. Hence Moses goes on to explain and says, the calf.
בואכת. לעפר. דק כעפר הארץ:
2AND BEAT IT. Into fine dust like the dust of the ground.14). I.E. explains that le-afar (to dust) should be interpreted as ke-afar (as dust) and our text interpreted, until it was as fine as dust (Weiser).
