Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 9:15/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ט׳:ט״ו
אויקרב את קרבן העם. על המזבח:
1AND THE PEOPLE’S OFFERING WAS PRESENTED.28 (literally, and he brought). Thus our clause literally reads, And he brought the people’s offering. On the altar.29 to el. In this case I.E. reads, “to the altar.” In other words, Scripture first tells us that the people’s offering was brought to the altar and then goes on to tell us how Aaron and his sons dealt with it
בויחטאהו כראשון. הוא עגל החטאת:
2AND OFFERED IT FOR SIN, AS THE FIRST. This refers to the sin offering bull-calf.30 means as the first sin offering.
גוטעם ויחטאו. כפר בו החטאת:
3The meaning of va-yechattehu (and offered it for sin) is, to atone with it for the sin.31
