출애굽기 30:1의 Chasidut
וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מִזְבֵּ֖חַ מִקְטַ֣ר קְטֹ֑רֶת עֲצֵ֥י שִׁטִּ֖ים תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתֽוֹ׃
너는 분향할 단을 만들지니 곧 조각목으로 만들되
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 30,1. “you are to construct an altar for the burning of incense.” Nachmanides questions why mention of this altar has been left until this point, whereas all the other furnishings of the Tabernacle have been described in Parshat T’rumah., where we would have expected to find this paragraph also.
I believe that at this point, after G’d (through Moses) had appointed Aaron and sons as priests, there might be a challenge to this appointment, as indeed we find later in Parshat Korach. If, the command to build the golden altar for the burning of incense was commanded only after Aaron’s appointment, G’d hoped that it would become clear to the people that the appointment had not been at the instigation of Moses but was the result of instructions Moses had received from G’d.
