| Ye shall offer no strange incense--that is, of a different composition from that of which the ingredients are described so minutely. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
strange
Compare (Lev 10:1-3); two prohibitions are given concerning worship:
(1) No "strange" incense is to be offered. This speaks of simulated or purely formal worship.
(2) No "strange" fire was permitted. This refers to the excitation of "religious" feelings by merely sensuous means, and to the substitution for devotion to Christ of any other devotion, as to religious causes, or sects.
Compare (Co1 1:11-13); (Col 2:8); (Col 2:16-19).
(See Scofield) - (Exo 30:38). |
