Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָתָה (chathah), meaning "to take" or "to snatch up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מַחְתָּה in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the specific term for a firepan or incense pan is not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament. However, related concepts of incense and offerings can be found in Greek terms such as θυμίαμα (thymiama, Strong's Greek 2368) for incense. Usage: The term מַחְתָּה is used in the context of the tabernacle and temple services, where it refers to a vessel employed for handling live coals, particularly in the rituals involving incense. It is mentioned in various passages describing the furnishings and utensils used in worship. Context: The מַחְתָּה (machtah) is a significant implement in the religious practices of ancient Israel, primarily associated with the tabernacle and later the temple. It is typically a metal pan or firepan used to carry live coals from the altar of burnt offering to the altar of incense. This transfer of coals was essential for burning incense, a key element of the sacrificial system that symbolized the prayers of the people ascending to God. The use of the מַחְתָּה is detailed in several passages of the Old Testament. In Leviticus 16:12, the high priest is instructed to take a firepan full of coals from the altar before the LORD and use it to burn incense on the Day of Atonement. Similarly, in Numbers 16:46, Aaron uses a firepan to make atonement for the people during a plague. The firepan is also mentioned in the context of the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings (Exodus 27:3; 38:3). The מַחְתָּה serves not only a practical function but also holds symbolic significance, representing the holiness and purity required in approaching God. The careful handling of the coals and incense underscores the reverence and precision demanded in worship.
