Gold, a precious metal, signifies value and purity, often associated with divinity and kingship in the Bible. The use of gold in the tabernacle and its furnishings (<a href="/exodus/25-11.htm">Exodus 25:11</a>) reflects the holiness and glory of God. The dish itself, used for holding incense, symbolizes the prayers of the people rising to God, as seen in <a href="/revelation/5-8.htm">Revelation 5:8</a>, where incense represents the prayers of the saints.<p><b>weighing ten shekels</b><br>The weight of ten shekels indicates a specific measure, showing the importance of precision and order in worship. A shekel was a standard unit of weight in ancient Israel, approximately 11.4 grams. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, as seen in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). This precise weight underscores the careful adherence to God's instructions, reflecting the Israelites' commitment to honoring God with their offerings.<p><b>filled with incense</b><br>Incense in the Bible is frequently associated with worship and prayer. In <a href="/exodus/30-34.htm">Exodus 30:34-38</a>, God gives Moses specific instructions for making incense, emphasizing its sacredness. The burning of incense in the tabernacle and later in the temple was a daily ritual, symbolizing the prayers of the people ascending to God. In <a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>, David likens his prayer to incense, highlighting its role as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
