Strong's Lexicon qetar: Incense, smoke, sacrifice Original Word: קְטַר Word Origin: Derived from the root קָטַר (qatar), which means "to burn incense" or "to offer a sacrifice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is θυμίαμα (thymiama), which also refers to incense or a fragrant offering. Usage: The term "qetar" is primarily used to denote the act of burning incense or offering sacrifices, often in a religious or ceremonial context. It signifies the smoke that arises from such offerings, symbolizing prayers or acts of worship ascending to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, incense and sacrifices were integral to worship and religious practices. The burning of incense was a daily ritual in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, symbolizing the prayers of the people rising to God. Sacrifices were central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, serving as atonement for sin and expressions of devotion.
