Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 14:15/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״ד:ט״ו
אעל כף הכהן השמאלית. היא כף הכהן המטהר רק כן דרך צחות בלשון הקדש והעד הפסוק הבא אחריו:
1INTO THE PALM OF HIS OWN LEFT HAND.54 The palm in kaf ha-kohen (the palm of his own)55 refers to the palm of the kohen who cleanses. Scripture reads thus56 because such style is considered elegant in the Hebrew language.57 The verse that follows is proof of this.58.
