Ramban on Exodus 30:36/רמב"ן על שמות ל׳:ל״ו
אוְנָתַתָּ מִמֶּנָּה לִפְנֵי הָעֵדֻת בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד יִתָּכֵן שֶׁנְּפָרֵשׁ שֶׁהִזְכִּיר הַכָּתוּב בְּכָאן כָּל מַעֲשֵׂה הַקְּטֹרֶת, אָמַר שֶׁיַּקְטִיר מִמֶּנָּה לִפְנֵי הָעֵדוּת בְּקֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים, וְהוּא קְטֹרֶת שֶׁל יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, וְיַקְטִיר מִמֶּנָּה בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד בְּכָל יוֹם, וַ"אֲשֶׁר אִוָּעֵד לְךָ שָׁמָּה" יַחְזֹר עַל הָעֵדוּת. וְיִתָּכֵן שֶׁיַּזְכִּיר כִּי יִתֵּן מִמֶּנָּה בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי שֶׁהוּא מֻנָּח לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן הָעֵדוּת, כִּי כֵן יֹאמַר בְּפָרָשַׁת וַיַּקְהֵל (ראה להלן מ ה):
1AND THOU SHALT PUT OF IT BEFORE THE TESTIMONY IN THE TENT OF MEETING, WHERE I WILL MEET WITH THEE. We may possibly explain that Scripture mentions here all the [various] regulations concerning the burning of the incense. It thus states that he should burn of it before the Testimony in the Holy of Holies, which refers to the incense burnt on the Day of Atonement, and that he should also burn of it in the Tent of Meeting, [referring to that burnt] every day. The phrase, where I will meet with thee refers back to [before] the Testimony [from where He spoke to Moses]. It is possible that He refers to the putting of the incense on the inner altar which is set before the ark of the Testimony,202 does not allude to the incense burnt on the Day of Atonement in the Holy of Holies, as explained above, but is instead to be understood as follows: “and thou shalt put of it [daily] on the inner altar which is set in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.” as He says in the section of Vayakheil.203 (40:5): And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of Testimony.
