The use of gold in the tabernacle and its furnishings (<a href="/exodus/25-11.htm">Exodus 25:11</a>) reflects the holiness and majesty of God. Gold dishes were part of the offerings brought by the leaders of Israel, signifying the value and honor given to God. The dish itself, used for holding incense, indicates the importance of worship and prayer, as incense often symbolizes the prayers of the saints (<a href="/revelation/5-8.htm">Revelation 5:8</a>).<p><b>weighing ten shekels</b><br>The shekel was a standard unit of weight in ancient Israel, approximately 11.4 grams per shekel. The specific weight of ten shekels for the gold dish underscores the precision and orderliness in the offerings to God. This precision reflects God's nature as a God of order (<a href="/1_corinthians/14-33.htm">1 Corinthians 14:33</a>) and the importance of giving to God what is due, as seen in the detailed instructions for offerings throughout the Pentateuch.<p><b>filled with incense</b><br>Incense in the Bible is often associated with prayer and worship. In the tabernacle, incense was burned on the altar of incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people rising to God (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>). The use of incense in offerings highlights the importance of a pleasing aroma to the Lord, representing the heart's devotion and the intercessory role of the priests. This can be seen as a type of Christ, who intercedes for believers (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>) and whose sacrifice is a fragrant offering to God (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the offerings from the leaders of the tribes during the dedication of the altar.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/n/nashon.htm">Nashon</a></b><br>The leader of the tribe of Judah, who brought the offering described in this verse.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites, where the altar was located.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/altar_dedication.htm">Altar Dedication</a></b><br>The event during which the leaders of the tribes of Israel brought offerings for the dedication of the altar.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_judah.htm">Tribe of Judah</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, represented by Nashon in this offering.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_incense.htm">Symbolism of Incense</a></b><br>Incense in the Bible often symbolizes prayer and worship.
