Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 1:9/אבן עזרא על ויקרא א׳:ט׳

אירחץ במים. כהן או לוי על כן הוצרך להוסיף עם והקטיר מלת הכהן:
1SHALL HE WASH WITH WATER. A kohen or a Levite. Scripture therefore has to add the word kohen to shall make the whole smoke.78 may perform this work.
באשה. שם התאר וטעמו קרבן אש והוא תאר למלת הכל:
2A BURNT-OFFERING. The word isheh (burnt offering) is an adjective. It means a fire offering. It describes the word hakol (the whole).79
גניחוח. מפורש:
3A SWEET SAVOUR. The word nicho’ach (a sweet savour) is self-explanatory.80 (rest). See I.E. on Gen. 5:8 (Vol. 1, p. 118). He explains nicho’ach as meaning that the sacrifice assuages God’s anger, or that it causes a power from on high to rest on man.
