At the beginning of chapter 30 in the book of Exodus, we read
about a second altar.
The altar is for the incense.
According to the interpretation of Rabenu Bechaye Ibn
Pakuda, the incense was the offering that was accepted the most by G-d.
According to his explanation, all the animal parts and other
edible offerings were not going to completely disappear. Parts of the animals
will be eaten, there will be ashes, etc., but the incense will vanish in the
air. Nothing will remain.
Sometimes we believe saving will save us… The incense offering
teaches us that sometimes it is time to give it all.
