Ramban on Leviticus 9:2/רמב"ן על ויקרא ט׳:ב׳
אוַיֹּאמֶר אֶל אַהֲרֹן קַח לְךָ עֵגֶל בֶּן בָּקָר נִצְטַוָּה מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּינוּ בַּקָּרְבָּנוֹת הַלָּלוּ כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר בַּסּוֹף "זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה ה' תַּעֲשׂוּ" וְאִם לֹא נִזְכַּר זֶה, וְכֵן "וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה ה' מְלֹא הָעֹמֶר מִמֶּנּוּ לְמִשְׁמֶרֶת" (שמות טז לב), וְכֵן "אָנֹכִי הָאֵל בֵּית אֵל" (בראשית לא יג), סִפֵּר יַעֲקֹב זֶה וְאִם לֹא נִזְכְּרָה הָאֲמִירָה לוֹ. וּכְבָר הֶרְאִיתִיךָ בַּפָּרָשִׁיּוֹת שֶׁל מִצְוַת הַפֶּסַח (שמות יא א) כָּאֵלֶּה רַבּוֹת:
1AND HE [Moses] SAID TO AARON: TAKE THEE A BULL-CALF FOR A SIN-OFFERING. Moses, our teacher, had been commanded about these offerings, as he said at the end [of the section], This is the thing which the Eternal commanded that ye should do,1 although this [command for these specific offerings] is not expressly mentioned. Similarly, And Moses said: This is the thing which the Eternal hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations,2 [where the verse indicates that Moses received a Divine command although it is not specifically mentioned]. Also, I am the G-d of Beth-el,3 when Jacob related [to his wives all that G-d’s angel had told him in the dream], even though it is not mentioned in Scripture that he was so told. I have already shown to you4, 12:21. many such examples in the sections on the commandments regarding the Passover.
