Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 8:17/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ח׳:י״ז
אשרף באש. יש אומרים הוא בעצמו ויש אומרים בצווי וראייתם כאשר צוה ה׳ את משה ואיננה ראיה כי כן דרך לשון הקדש:
1WERE BURNT21 (literally, he burnt). WITH FIRE. Some say by Moses himself.22 Others say by the command of Moses. They offer as proof, as the Lord commanded Moses (v. 21).23 referred to Moses, the verse would have ended with “as the Lord commanded him,” rather than with as the Lord commanded Moses. However, this is no proof, for that is the style of the Hebrew language.24
