Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָתָה (chathah), meaning "to take" or "to snatch up."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מַחְתָּה in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the specific term for a firepan or incense pan is not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament. However, related concepts of incense and offerings can be found in Greek terms such as θυμίαμα (thymiama, Strong's Greek 2368) for incense. Usage: The term מַחְתָּה is used in the context of the tabernacle and temple services, where it refers to a vessel employed for handling live coals, particularly in the rituals involving incense. It is mentioned in various passages describing the furnishings and utensils used in worship. Context: The מַחְתָּה (machtah) is a significant implement in the religious practices of ancient Israel, primarily associated with the tabernacle and later the temple. It is typically a metal pan or firepan used to carry live coals from the altar of burnt offering to the altar of incense. This transfer of coals was essential for burning incense, a key element of the sacrificial system that symbolized the prayers of the people ascending to God.
