Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 22:32/אבן עזרא על ויקרא כ״ב:ל״ב
אוטעם ולא תחללו את שם קדשי. עם בני אהרן ידבר כי הפרשה דבקה והם המצווים שלא ישחטו להם או לישראל אם ובן ביום אחד גם יתכן שמצוה וכי תזבחו זבח תודה לכהנים והעד שהחל בפרשה אחר כן דבר אל בני ישראל ועד שני ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל:
1[AND YE SHALL NOT PROFANE MY HOLY NAME.] This is directed to the sons of Aaron, for this section57 is connected to what is earlier stated.58 They59 are commanded not to sacrifice for themselves or for Israel a cow and its offspring on one day. It is also possible that And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving (v. 29) is directed to the kohanim.60. The fact that the following section opens with Speak unto the children of Israel (Lev. 23:2) is proof of this.61. But I will be hallowed among the children of Israel is a second witness.62. Had it been directed to the Israelites, Scripture would have read: But I will be hallowed among you.
