Ten shekels would be approximately 4 ounces or 114 grams. The specific weight indicates the precision and care in the offerings, reflecting the importance of giving to God what is due. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, as seen in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20).<p><b>filled with incense</b><br>Incense in the Bible is frequently associated with prayer and worship.

The sweet aroma of incense symbolizes the pleasing nature of sincere worship and prayer.
