Ibn Ezra on Numbers 8:11/אבן עזרא על במדבר ח׳:י״א
אלפני ה'. והטעם כאשר תקריבם לפני האהל יסמכו בני הלוים את ידם על ראש כל אחד מהפרים ורבים כן:
1BEFORE THE LORD. Its meaning is, when you present the Levites before the tent, the Levites shall lay their hands upon the head of each one of the bullocks.35 (upon the heads of the bullocks). This literally reads, upon the head of the bullocks. I.E. interprets this to mean upon the head of each one of the bullocks. There are many similar instances in Scripture.
