The Second Temple Incense – Set of 4, in Gift Box

Central to all of the ceremonies conducted in the Temple was the Incense Offering. It consisted of a precise mixture of 11 Holy Spices, known in Hebrew as the “Ketoret Besamim” (Exodus 30:34-38). During the days of the Temple, the Ketoret is burned every evening and morning on the golden Incense Altar by “Cohanim” (priests), in front of the Holy Ark in the Communion Tent of the Temple’s Sanctuary. The exact method of Ketoret preparation by the Master Perfumer was a closely guarded secret. The Second Temple 4 Incense kit contains: Spikenard. Flowers of the lavandula officinalis Frankincense.
