Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Exodus 30:9

Ye shall offer no strange incense. — By “strange incense” is meant any that was composed differently from that of which the composition is laid down in Exodus 30:34.

Nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither... drink offering. — All these were to be offered on the brazen altar, not on the altar of incense, which was in no way suited for them.
