People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 9:4


Heb 9:4 Which had the golden censer. The critics are divided whether the Greek word "thumiasterion" rendered "censer" refers to the golden censer or to the altar of incense. Both the Common and Revised Versions have adopted "censer", which is probably correct. In the golden censer was burned incense in the Most Holy Place, when the High Priest entered it once a year (Le 16:12). The altar of incense stood against the veil of the Most Holy Place. The ark of the covenant. See Ex 25:10-16. This chest, made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, was the most sacred thing in the tabernacle. Wherein [was] the gold pot that had manna. See Ex 16:32-34. And Aaron's rod that budded. See Nu 17:1-11. And The tables of the covenant. See De 10:1-5. The two stone tables of the law. All these but the tables had been removed before the temple was built (1Ki 8:9). Many hold that they were by the ark, not in it. See De 31:26 Nu 17:10. The ark itself disappeared when the temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar.
