**יום תרועה.** מצוה להריע כי אילו היה זה הדיבור על עולת היום למה לא הזכיר בשאר המועדים ועוד כי כל העולות צוה לתקוע ולא להריע:

**Ibn Ezra's commentary on the Pentateuch, tran. and annot. by H. Norman Strickman and Arthur M. Silver. Menorah Pub., 1988-2004:**
IT IS A DAY OF BLOWING THE HORN.¹. Literally, a day of *tru’ah*. I.E.’s interpretation of *yom tru’ah* is, a day of sounding a *tru’ah*. It is a commandment to sound a *tru’ah*.² is a wavering blast. If this statement referred to the burnt offering offered on this day,³ then why is it not mentioned with regard to the other festivals?⁴ was to the sound to be played over the burnt offerings on the festivals cited in Num. 10:10, then the Torah should have mentioned the sounding of the *tru’ah* with regard to the other festivals. Furthermore, the Torah tells us to sound a *teki’ah*⁵ over the burnt offerings, not a *tru’ah*.⁶. If the reference was to the sound played over the burnt offerings, the Torah would have spoken of a *teki’ah*.

footnotes:
¹ Hebrew, yom tru’ah
² A tru’ah
³ The Torah tells us to sound the trumpets over the special burnt offerings that were offered on the festivals. See Num. 10:10.
⁴ If the reference of yom tru’ah
⁵ A steady blast.
⁶ Our verse speaks of a tru’ah

**פר בן בקר אחד.** של צבור וכן איל אחד ואינם פר כהן גדול והאיל שלו ולפי דעתי כי האיל הנזכר בפרשת אחרי מות שלקח מן העם איננו זה כי על אילו ואיל העם נאמר ועשה את עולתו ואת עולת העם והעד שיש תוספת שבעת כבשים גם זה שעיר עזים אחד לחטאת איננו משעיר הגורלות על כן כתוב מלבד חטאת הכפורים הנכתבת בפרשת אחרי מות:

**Ibn Ezra's commentary on the Pentateuch, tran. and annot. by H. Norman Strickman and Arthur M. Silver. Menorah Pub., 1988-2004:**
ONE YOUNG BULLOCK. Brought by the congregation. The same applies to one ram. The reference is not to the bullock and ram offered by the *kohen gadol* (high priest).⁷I believe that the ram mentioned in the Torah portion *Achare mot,*⁸ which the *kohen* took from the people,⁹ is not the ram mentioned in our verse, for Scripture says, with regard to the high priest’s ram and the ram of the people, *and offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people* (Lev. 16:24).¹⁰ (the burnt offering of the people). The fact that there are seven additional lambs¹¹ is proof of this.¹² in our chapter was accompanied by seven lambs, while the ram spoken of in Leviticus was not so accompanied. The one he-goat for a sin offering¹³ is not to be identified with one of the he-goats chosen by lot.¹⁴ Scripture therefore states,¹⁵ *beside the sin-offering of atonement* (v. 11) mentioned in the Torah portion *Achare mot*.¹⁶ (v. 11) is, beside the sin offering (the he-goat) mentioned in the Torah portion *Achare mot*.

footnotes:
⁷ See Lev. 16:3. These came from the high priest’s personal property.
⁸ Lev. 16:5.
⁹ To offer as a sacrifice.
¹⁰ The Torah does not designate the ram in our verse as an olat ha’am
¹¹ Offered along with the bullock and ram spoken of in our verse.
¹² That the ram spoken of in our verse is not to be identified with the ram spoken of in Lev. 16. For the ram offered by the kohen
¹³ Spoken of in verse 11.
¹⁴ Mentioned in Lev. 16:6-9.
¹⁵ With regard to the he-goat.
¹⁶ Lev. 16:9. In other words, the meaning of beside the sin-offering of atonement

**עצרת.** פרשתיו:
