It is often associated with the aromatic smoke produced by burning incense as part of religious rituals. 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. In summary, "qetoreth" is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, representing the sacred act of burning incense as an offering to God, symbolizing prayer, worship, and the divine presence. 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. • The burning of incense symbolized the prayers of the people ascending to God. It was considered a holy act, and the formula for the incense was divinely given, with strict instructions that it was not to be replicated for personal use (Exodus 30:34-38). • The use of incense is highlighted in several key passages, such as Exodus 30:7-8, where Aaron is instructed to burn incense every morning and evening, and Leviticus 16:12-13, where incense plays a crucial role in the Day of Atonement rituals. • The significance of "qetoreth" extends beyond its literal use, symbolizing the spiritual act of worship and the offering of one's heart and prayers to God. It serves as a reminder of the sanctity and reverence due in worship.
