Strong's Lexicon Lebonah: Frankincense Original Word: לְבוֹנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root לָבַן (lavan), meaning "to be white." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3030 (λίβανος, libanos): Refers to frankincense in the New Testament, used in contexts such as the gifts of the Magi to Jesus (Matthew 2:11). Usage: Lebonah refers to frankincense, a fragrant resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia. In the Bible, it is often associated with offerings and worship, symbolizing purity and prayer. Frankincense was a key component in the incense used in the Tabernacle and Temple rituals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, frankincense was a highly valued commodity, often imported from regions such as Arabia and Somalia. It was used not only in religious ceremonies but also for medicinal purposes and as a perfume. The burning of frankincense produced a sweet, aromatic smoke, which was believed to carry prayers to the divine. Its use in the Tabernacle and Temple signified the sanctity and reverence of worship.
