Ibn Ezra on Numbers 18:7/אבן עזרא על במדבר י״ח:ז׳
אעבודת מתנה. והזר מהכהנים אפי' לוי ועולת שמואל שהוא לוי איננה טענה כי היא היתה הוראת שעה כמעשה גדעון:
1AS A SERVICE OF GIFT. And someone who is a common man in regard to the priesthood even if he be a Levite [shall be put to death]. The burnt offering of Samuel, who was a Levi, is no argument11 may offer a burnt offering, for Samuel offered a burnt offering. See I Sam. 7:9. for it was a temporary ruling, as was the case of Gideon.12
