incense, the smoke of offerings burned to idols or to YHWH
A masculine or feminine noun denoting incense. Jeremiah 44:21 uses it in God's accusation against Judean refugees in Egypt: 'The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah...' The context is clearly idolatrous worship, incense offered to the Queen of Heaven. Some scholars note morphological irregularities—possibly the definite article prefixed to an unusual form. The gender ambiguity (requiring text-critical adjustment of pronouns) has led some to emend to the standard qetoreth, though the received text is defensible.

1. sense 1 — Incense or incense-smoke offered in worship, specifically idolatrous burning to foreign deities in Jeremiah 44. The prophet reminds the people that God witnessed 'the incense' they burned in every Judean city before the exile. Some translations leave the form untransliterated due to morphological oddities, but Spanish 'el incienso' recognizes standard cultic terminology. The word's appearance in an idolatry context shows incense's double-edged nature: the same substance prescribed for YHWH's worship became an instrument of apostasy when directed toward other gods. 1×
