Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) And he shall put the incense.--The high priest now threw the incense upon the coals in the censer, in the Holy of Holies, and stayed there till the whole place was filled with a cloud of smoke, taking special care that the mercy seat and the cherubim should be enveloped in the cloud. Whereupon he left the Holy of Holies, walking backward, with his face to the holy place and his back to the Temple. Upon his emerging from within the second vail, and arriving in the Holy place, he pronounced the following prayer :--"May it please Thee, O Lord my God, that if this year was intended to be one of drought, it be one of rain. May he who rules over the house of Judah not die. May Thy people not be in want, so that one should beg bread from another or from strangers; and let not the prayers of travellers come before Thee" [because they pray that no rain may fall].Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewHe is to putוְנָתַ֧ן (wə·nā·ṯan)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setthe incenseהַקְּטֹ֛רֶת (haq·qə·ṭō·reṯ)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 7004: Smoke, odor of (burning) sacrifice, incenseonעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe fireהָאֵ֖שׁ (hā·’êš)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 784: A firebeforeלִפְנֵ֣י (lip̄·nê)Preposition-l | Noun - common plural constructStrong's 6440: The facethe LORD,יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israeland the cloudעֲנַ֣ן (‘ă·nan)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 6051: A cloud, the nimbus, thunder-cloudof incenseהַקְּטֹ֗רֶת (haq·qə·ṭō·reṯ)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 7004: Smoke, odor of (burning) sacrifice, incensewill coverוְכִסָּ֣ה ׀ (wə·ḵis·sāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3680: To plump, fill up hollows, to coverthe mercy seatהַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת (hak·kap·pō·reṯ)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 3727: Propitiatoryaboveעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe testimony,הָעֵד֖וּת (hā·‘ê·ḏūṯ)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5715: Testimonyso that he will notוְלֹ֥א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nodie.יָמֽוּת׃ (yā·mūṯ)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killJump to PreviousArk Ark-Cover Atonement Cloud Conceal Cover Covered Die Dieth Fire Incense Mercy Mercy-Seat Order Otherwise Perfume Seat Smoke Testimony
