Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3030 (libanos): Refers to frankincense in the New Testament, notably in the gifts brought by the Magi to Jesus (Matthew 2:11). Usage: The term "lebonah" refers to frankincense, a fragrant, white resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia. In the Bible, it is often associated with offerings and worship, symbolizing purity and prayer. Frankincense was a key component in the incense used in the Tabernacle and Temple rituals. Cultural and Historical Background: Frankincense was highly valued in ancient times for its aromatic properties and was a significant trade commodity. It was used in religious ceremonies across various cultures, including the Israelites, who incorporated it into their worship as commanded in the Mosaic Law. The resin was harvested by making incisions in the bark of the Boswellia tree, allowing the sap to harden into beads or "tears" that were then collected.
