Temple Incense 11 Components Gift Pack

The Temple Incense 11 Components Gift Pack contains all the eleven components that make up the Temple incense.

The Bible states (Ex. 30:34), "God said to Moses: Take fragrances such as balsam, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense, all of the same weight, as well as other specified fragrances."

The incense which was offered in the Holy Temple was made from eleven different ingredients, only four of which are mentioned by name in the verse above. The identity of the other seven spices has been passed down in the Oral Tradition. As is the case with regard to many other areas of Temple study, the exact classification of these ingredients is the subject of serious research and scholarship. Many of these are rare, and some can be obtained only in exotic and distant lands.

Each of the spices, Balsam, Cassia, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Bark, Costus, Frankincense, Galbanum, Myrrh, Onycha (Clove), Saffron, Spikenard, are presented in a separate glass bottle that is closed with a plastic stopper that can be opened and closed.
