Strong's Lexicon machtah: Firepan, censer Original Word: מַחְתָּה Word Origin: From the root חָתָה (chathah), meaning "to take" or "to snatch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2369 (thumiaterion): Refers to a censer or incense burner, used in the context of the temple and worship practices. Usage: The term "machtah" refers to a firepan or censer, a vessel used in the tabernacle and temple for carrying live coals from the altar of burnt offering. It was an essential tool for priests, used in the burning of incense as part of the sacrificial rituals and worship practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the censer was a critical component of the priestly duties. It was used to transport coals from the altar to burn incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people ascending to God. The use of the censer was a sacred act, and only those authorized, such as the priests, could perform this duty. The censer's role highlights the importance of purity and holiness in approaching God, as improper use could lead to severe consequences, as seen in the account of Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10:1-2).
