one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense—
one gold dish
The phrase "one gold dish" refers to a singular, precious vessel made of gold. In the context of ancient Israel, gold was a symbol of purity, divinity, and kingship. The use of gold in the tabernacle and its furnishings underscored the holiness and the glory of God. The Hebrew word for "dish" here is "קַעֲרָה" (qa'arah), which denotes a shallow bowl or dish. This particular dish was used in the service of the tabernacle, indicating its sacred purpose. The singularity of the dish ("one") emphasizes the personal and individual offering to God, reflecting the personal relationship each tribe and individual had with the Lord.

weighing ten shekels
The weight of the dish is specified as "ten shekels." A shekel was a standard unit of weight in ancient Israel, approximately 11.4 grams or 0.4 ounces. The number ten in biblical numerology often signifies completeness or divine order. Thus, the weight of the dish not only provides a literal measure but also symbolizes the completeness of the offering and the orderliness of worship as prescribed by God. This precise measurement reflects the importance of obedience to God's instructions and the meticulous care with which the Israelites were to approach their worship.

filled with incense
The dish was "filled with incense," a fragrant substance used in worship. Incense in the Bible is often associated with prayer and the presence of God. The Hebrew word for incense is "קְטֹרֶת" (qetoreth), which refers to a mixture of aromatic spices. In the tabernacle, incense was burned on the altar of incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people ascending to God. The filling of the dish with incense signifies the fullness of devotion and the sweet aroma of a life dedicated to God. It serves as a reminder of the importance of prayer and worship in the life of a believer, as well as the pleasing nature of sincere offerings to the Lord.
