Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 8:13/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ח׳:י״ג
אויקרב משה את בני אהרן. פעם שנית בעבור שארכו הדברים או טעמו כאשר הקריב משה את בני אהרן הלבישם כתנות. ומלת וילבישם יוצאה לשנים פועלים:
1AND MOSES BROUGHT AARON’S SONS. Scripture notes this a second time13 because it speaks at length.14 On the other hand, this means that when Moses brought Aaron’s sons he dressed them in tunics.15 here does not mean and brought. Rather it means when he brought. In this case there is no repetition in our verse. The word va-yalbishem (and clothed them) is a verb that governs two actions.16. Moses caused them to be dressed, and they were dressed.
