one gold dish
The phrase "one gold dish" signifies a singular, precious offering. In the Hebrew context, gold is often associated with purity, divinity, and kingship. The use of gold in the tabernacle and its offerings underscores the value and honor due to God. The dish, likely a shallow bowl, was used in sacred rituals, emphasizing the importance of presenting our best to God. Historically, gold was a rare and valuable commodity, symbolizing the wealth and dedication of the Israelites to their covenant with God.

weighing ten shekels
The weight "ten shekels" provides a specific measure, indicating the standardization and precision in offerings. A shekel was a unit of weight and currency in ancient Israel, approximately 11.4 grams. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, suggesting that the offering was complete and sufficient in the eyes of God. This precision reflects the Israelites' obedience to God's commands and their desire to honor Him with exactness.

filled with incense
"Filled with incense" highlights the purpose of the dish. Incense, in biblical times, was a symbol of prayer and worship, often used in the tabernacle to create a fragrant aroma pleasing to God. The Hebrew word for incense, "qetoreth," is associated with the idea of something that ascends, much like prayers rising to heaven. The use of incense in worship signifies the importance of a heart devoted to God, with the fragrance representing the beauty and purity of sincere worship. Historically, incense was a costly and treasured substance, further emphasizing the sacrificial nature of the offering.
