one gold dish
The phrase "one gold dish" signifies the offering's value and purity. Gold, in biblical times, was a symbol of wealth, divinity, and kingship. The Hebrew word for "dish" here is "קַעֲרָה" (qearah), which refers to a shallow bowl or dish used in sacred rituals. This offering reflects the Israelites' reverence and dedication to God, as gold was a precious metal, often associated with the divine presence and used in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings (Exodus 25:11). The singular "one" emphasizes the unity and completeness of the offering, symbolizing the wholehearted devotion of the giver.

weighing ten shekels
The weight "ten shekels" provides a specific measure, indicating the standardization and precision in offerings to God. A shekel was a unit of weight and currency in ancient Israel, approximately 11.4 grams. The number ten in biblical numerology often represents completeness or divine order. This precise weight underscores the importance of giving to God what is due, reflecting the giver's obedience and respect for divine instructions. It also highlights the communal aspect of worship, as each tribe brought identical offerings, fostering unity among the Israelites.

filled with incense
"Filled with incense" points to the purpose and significance of the offering. Incense, in Hebrew "קְטֹרֶת" (qetoret), was a fragrant substance burned in worship, symbolizing prayers ascending to God (Psalm 141:2). The use of incense in the Tabernacle was a vital part of the sacrificial system, representing the people's desire for their prayers to be pleasing to the Lord. The filling of the dish with incense signifies abundance and the fullness of devotion. It serves as a reminder of the sweet aroma of a life dedicated to God, echoing the New Testament call for believers to be a "fragrant offering" (Ephesians 5:2). This act of worship through incense reflects the Israelites' acknowledgment of God's holiness and their dependence on His grace.

Verse 14. - One spoon, or small cup, with a handle. Hebrew, kaph, as in Exodus 25:29. Septuagint, θυίσκη. Of ten shekels of gold - weighing about as much as eleven and a half sovrans, but the value of the precious metals was much greater then. Full of incense. Both for a present incense offering, and as intimating the use of the cups.
