SIBI-P1 `H7004-03`

incense-smoke

Root	קטר (q-ṭ-r)
Core Meanings	to smoke, to make smoke rise, to burn (especially as an offering), to turn into fragrant smoke
Semantic Range	incense as a prepared aromatic mixture; the act of burning incense; the fragrant smoke produced by burning; by extension, ritual offering made through incense
Conceptual Significance	קְטֹרֶת is central to Israel’s worship, especially in the Tabernacle and Temple, where fragrant smoke symbolized acceptable offering and the ascent of prayer before YHWH. Its association with holiness and regulated priestly service underscores the importance of reverent approach to the divine presence.
Morphological Notes	Common feminine singular noun (HNcfsa/HNcfsc), appearing in both absolute and construct states; no pronominal suffixes in the cited forms.
Rendering Rationale	The noun קְטֹרֶת is a feminine singular form derived from the root קטר, "to cause smoke to rise" or "to burn as incense." Rendering it as "incense-smoke" preserves the core idea of fragrant smoke ascending, rather than merely the substance itself. The singular form reflects the feminine singular morphology (absolute or construct) attested in the data.
