Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 5:15/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ה׳:ט״ו
אתמעל מעל. דבר שנתכסה עליו מגזרת מעיל והטעם כי חטאת הוא בקדשי השם יביא איל שהוא שוה כסף שקלים ומעוט רבים שנים:
1COMMIT A TRESPASS. The reference is to something which covered the offender.30 Timol ma’al (commit a trespass) is related to the word me’il (garment).31 literally means to garment a garment that is, to cover oneself with a garment. The reason why he shall bring a ram32 worth silver shekels33. is that he sinned against that which is sanctified to God. The minimum of the plural shekalim (shekels) is two.
