(Strong's #2369 — Noun Neuter — thumiaterion — thoo-mee-as-tay'-ree-on )

"a vessel for burning incense" (2 Chronicles 26:19; Ezekiel 8:11 ), is found in Hebrews 9:4 .

2: λιβανωτός

(Strong's #3031 — Noun Masculine — libanotos — lib-an-o-tos' )

denotes "frankincense," the gum of the libanos, "the frankincense tree;" in a secondary sense, "a vessel in which to burn incense," Revelation 8:3,5 .

Note: No. 1 derives its significance from the act of burning (thumiao); No. 2 from that which was burned in the vessel.
