Strong's Lexicon qatar: To burn incense, to offer a sacrifice, to smoke Original Word: קָטַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - θυμιάω (thumiaō): To burn incense - θυμίαμα (thumiama): Incense, a fragrant offering Usage: The Hebrew verb "qatar" primarily refers to the act of burning incense or offering sacrifices, often in a religious or ceremonial context. It conveys the idea of producing smoke, which is symbolic of prayers or offerings ascending to God. The term is frequently used in the context of the Levitical priesthood and temple worship, where incense and sacrifices were integral to the rituals prescribed by the Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, burning incense and offering sacrifices were central components of worship and religious observance. The smoke from incense was seen as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, symbolizing the prayers and devotion of the people. The practice of burning incense was not unique to Israel; it was common in many ancient Near Eastern cultures. However, in the Hebrew context, it was strictly regulated and associated with the worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel. The priests, particularly the high priest, were responsible for these offerings, which were conducted in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem.
