SIBI-P1 H7004-01
the incense-smoke
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). From the root קטר, denoting that which is burned to produce fragrant smoke. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קְטֹרֶת derives from the root קטר, "to make smoke" or "to burn as an offering." Rendering it as "the incense-smoke" preserves the core idea of fragrant smoke rising, rather than abstracting it to a generic "incense." The definite article (הַ) and feminine singular absolute form are reflected in the singular, definite English phrase "the incense-smoke." |
