Strong's Lexicon qetoreth: Incense, smoke, fragrance Original Word: קְטֹרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root קָטַר (qatar), meaning "to smoke" or "to burn incense." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - θυμίαμα (thymiama): Refers to incense or a fragrant offering, used in the New Testament to describe the prayers of the saints (Revelation 5:8). Usage: The term "qetoreth" primarily refers to the aromatic smoke produced by burning incense. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often associated with worship and offerings to God, symbolizing prayer, devotion, and the presence of the divine. Incense was a key component in the rituals of the Tabernacle and the Temple, used to create a fragrant atmosphere pleasing to the Lord. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, incense was a significant element of religious practice. The specific blend of spices used for the sacred incense was prescribed by God and was considered holy (Exodus 30:34-38). The burning of incense was performed by priests and was an integral part of the daily offerings, especially in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. The fragrant smoke was seen as a symbol of the prayers of the people ascending to God.
