and incense-smoke

Rootקטר (q-ṭ-r)
Core Meaningsto smoke, to make smoke rise, to burn (as incense), fumigation
Semantic Rangeincense, fragrant smoke, fumigation, the substance burned to produce aromatic smoke, incense-offering
Conceptual Significanceקְטֹרֶת refers to the sacred incense used in tabernacle and temple worship, especially on the golden altar. Its rising smoke symbolized prayer ascending before YHWH and marked holy space through fragrance and ritual purity.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to a common feminine singular noun; attested in both absolute (Ncfsa) and construct (Ncfsc) states. No pronominal suffixes. Derived nominal form from the verbal root קטר.
Rendering RationaleThe noun קְטֹרֶת derives from the root קטר, "to make smoke" or "to burn in smoke," and denotes that which produces fragrant smoke in ritual burning. Rendering it as "incense-smoke" preserves the connection to the act of smoking or fumigating inherent in the root, while the prefixed conjunction וּ is reflected in "and." The form is feminine singular (absolute or construct), which is maintained by the singular English expression.
