And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27. See Exo 30:7. Moses, however, not Aaron, according to the present writer, begins the daily services (cf. vv. 23, 25, 29), and maintains them during the first eight days till the priests are installed (cf. Exo 29:35, Lev 8:33; Lev 9:1).

And he burnt sweet incense thereon,…. Which is another branch of the priestly office exercised by Moses, and which he would never have done had he not had a command from God for it, as follows:
as the Lord commanded Moses; he commanded Moses indeed to order and direct Aaron to do this, but he being not yet consecrated, Moses, being the Lord’s priest, did it.
