Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קָטַר (qatar), which means "to smoke" or "to burn incense."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term is θυμίαμα (thumiama), Strong's Greek Number G2368. This term is used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to refer to incense, maintaining the symbolic connection between incense and prayer or worship, as seen in passages like Revelation 8:3-4, where the prayers of the saints are depicted as rising with the smoke of incense before God. Usage: The word "qetoreth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the incense used in worship, particularly in the context of offerings and rituals performed in the Tabernacle and Temple. It signifies the fragrant smoke that ascends as a pleasing aroma to God. Context: • "Qetoreth" is frequently mentioned in the context of the sacred rituals of the Israelites. It was a key component of the worship practices prescribed in the Torah, particularly in the books of Exodus and Leviticus. The incense was composed of specific aromatic spices and was to be burned on the altar of incense, which stood before the veil of the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple.
