The use of gold in the offerings reflects the value and honor given to God. In the ancient Near East, gold was a sign of wealth and status, and its use in religious contexts signified the importance of the offering. The dish itself would have been crafted with care, indicating the reverence and dedication of the giver.<p><b>weighing ten shekels</b><br>A shekel was a standard unit of weight in ancient Israel, approximately 11 grams or 0.4 ounces. Ten shekels would thus be about 110 grams or 4 ounces. The specific weight indicates a measure of precision and intentionality in the offering. Numbers often have symbolic meanings in the Bible; ten can represent completeness or divine order, suggesting the offering was complete and sufficient.<p><b>filled with incense</b><br>Incense was a significant element in Israelite worship, symbolizing prayer and the presence of God. It was used in the tabernacle and later in the temple, particularly in the Holy Place. The sweet aroma of incense rising was a metaphor for prayers ascending to God.
