'Incense' in the Bible

Stop bringing useless offerings.Your incense is detestable to Me.New Moons and Sabbaths,and the calling of solemn assemblies—I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.

They will not look to the altars they made with their hands or to the Asherahs and incense altars they made with their fingers.

Therefore Jacob’s iniquity will be purged in this way,and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:when he makes all the altar stoneslike crushed bits of chalk,no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

You have not brought Me your sheep for burnt offeringsor honored Me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offeringsor wearied you with incense.

These people continually provoke Meto My face,sacrificing in gardens,burning incense on bricks,

for your iniquities and the iniquitiesof your fathers together,”says the Lord.“Because they burned incense on the mountainsand reproached Me on the hills,I will reward them fullyfor their former deeds.”

One slaughters an ox, one kills a man;one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck;one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood;one offers incense, one praises an idol—all these have chosen their waysand delight in their detestable practices.
