Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 15:9/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ט״ו:ט׳
אוכל המרכב. שהוא מקבל טומאה כדברי המעתיקים:
1AND WHAT SADDLE. Which, as the transmitters of tradition explained, becomes unclean.16 (saddle) refers to equipment set aside for riding. See Torat Kohanim, Metzora 3:9. Also see Rashi, “…The hold in front of the saddle…becomes unclean as a part of something for riding on (mercav)…and the saddle…is unclean as being something to sit upon (moshav)” (Rosenbaum and Silverman translation).
