and incense-smoke
| Root | קטר (q-ṭ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to smoke, to make smoke rise, to burn (as incense), fumigation |
| Semantic Range | incense, fragrant smoke, fumigation, the substance burned to produce aromatic smoke, incense-offering |
| Conceptual Significance | קְטֹרֶת 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 Notes | Conjunction 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 Rationale | The 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. |
