What does Exodus 30:9 mean?
Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon
Which had not the same, but was made of other materials, or had
more or fewer; whatever was not exactly the same was not to be
offered; and so to make use of other mediators than Christ,
whether angels or men, or to put up prayer to God for the sake of
our own righteousness, pleading the merits of our works, and not
the blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ, is to offer
strange incense, unacceptable to God, and which will be of no
avail to men:
nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering;
these were to be offered and burnt upon the altar of burnt
offering;
neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon;
as upon the other altar; everything in God's worship and service
was to be done in the proper place and order; these offerings and
sacrifices, though they were by divine appointment, yet must be
offered on that altar which was peculiar for them.
