Strong's Lexicon chelbenah: Galbanum Original Word: חֶלְבְּנָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to be fat" or "to be rich." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for chelbenah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the composition of the incense used in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Chelbenah refers to a resinous gum used as one of the ingredients in the sacred incense for the Tabernacle, as prescribed in the Old Testament. It is known for its aromatic properties and was considered an essential component of the incense blend. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, incense played a significant role in religious rituals and was used in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple. The specific blend of incense, including chelbenah, was considered holy and was used exclusively for worship. Galbanum, the substance identified as chelbenah, is a gum resin obtained from certain plants in the Ferula genus, native to the Middle East. It was valued for its fragrance and was often mixed with other spices to create a pleasing aroma.
