Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קָטַר (qatar), which means "to burn incense" or "to offer a sacrifice."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term often associated with the concept of burning incense or offering a fragrant sacrifice is θυμιάω (thumiaō), which is used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to describe similar practices of incense burning in worship contexts. Usage: The term קִטֵּר (qitter) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of burning incense as part of worship or sacrificial offerings. It is associated with the practices of the priests in the tabernacle and temple, where incense was burned as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. Context: The verb קִטֵּר (qitter) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often in relation to the worship practices of ancient Israel. Incense burning was a significant aspect of the sacrificial system, symbolizing the prayers and devotion of the people ascending to God. The act of burning incense was performed by the priests and was considered a sacred duty, as it was believed to create a pleasing aroma for the Lord. This practice is mentioned in several passages, including Exodus 30:7-8, where Aaron is instructed to burn incense on the altar every morning and evening. The burning of incense is also referenced in the context of idolatrous practices, where it is condemned when offered to false gods (e.g., Jeremiah 44:5). The use of קִטֵּר (qitter) underscores the importance of proper worship and the distinction between offerings made to the true God and those made to idols.
