In the New Testament, it is often associated with worship and prayer, symbolizing the prayers of the saints ascending to God. Incense was used in both Jewish and early Christian worship practices as a representation of devotion and reverence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish tradition, incense was a significant element of temple worship. The burning of incense was a daily ritual performed by priests in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, as described in the Old Testament (e.g., Exodus 30:7-8). The fragrant smoke was seen as a pleasing aroma to God, symbolizing the prayers and intercessions of the people. In the Greco-Roman world, incense was also used in various religious and cultural ceremonies, often as an offering to deities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2370.htm">thumiaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>incense<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>incense (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2368: θυμίαμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θυμίαμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θυμιάματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">θυμιάω</span>), the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> mostly for <span class="hebrew">קְטֹרֶת</span>, <span class="accented">an aromatic substance burnt, incense</span>: generally in plural, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/5-8.htm">Revelation 5:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-13.htm">Revelation 18:13</a>; <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">ὥρα</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span>, when the incense is burned, <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-10.htm">Luke 1:10</a>; <span class="greek2">θυσιαστήριον</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">θυμιάματος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-11.htm">Luke 1:11</a>.
