Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 22:14/אבן עזרא על ויקרא כ״ב:י״ד
אונתן לכהן את הקדש. טעמו עם הקדש או תהיה מלת ונתן לכהן מושכת עצמה ואחרת עמה וכן פירושו ויסף חמשיתו עליו ונתן לכהן ונתן את הקדש ולפי דעתי שאין צורך בעבור מלת עליו:
1AND SHALL GIVE UNTO THE PRIEST THE HOLY THING. The meaning of ve’et ha-kodesh (the holy thing) is, with22 here has the meaning of with. the holy thing.23 implies that only the holy thing is to be given to the kohen. The question thus arises, what is to be done with the fifth part? Hence this interpretation. On the other hand, and shall give unto the priest might apply to what precedes it and to what follows it. Our verse is to be interpreted as follows: Then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it and shall give it unto the priest, and he shall give unto the priest the holy thing. I believe that there is no need for this interpretation, for Scripture reads unto it.24 takes in the fifth part.
