Best Answer

Incense was made out of sweet spices and was used extensively in ceremonial worship in The Bible, right up to the time of the priest Zachariah in the New Testament, (Luke 1.9).

Incense is mentioned 123 times in the Bible.

So incense simply means in the Bible - "A substance that produces a sweet smell when burning."

Spiritually speaking, the psalmist likens our prayers to incense in Psalm 141.2
