11 [1] TAKE THY FIRE-PAN. The reference is to a specific fire-pan.
[2] AND LAY INCENSE THEREON. Scripture does not say, and lay “the” incense on. The intelligent will understand.
[3] AND CARRY. The word *holekh* (and carry) is an imperative. It is similar to the word *hoshev* (make to dwell) in *make thy father…to dwell* (Gen. 47:6). *Holekh* comes from the same root as *helikhi* (take away) (Ex. 2:9). It means bring, the idea being it should go with you.
