SIBI-P1 H7004-01

the incense-smoke

Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). From the root קטר, denoting that which is burned to produce fragrant smoke.
Rendering RationaleThe 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."
