STRONGS G2369:
θυμιατήριον, -ου, τό, (θυμιάω), properly, a utensil for fumigating or burning incense [cf. Winer's Grammar, 96 (91)]; hence:
1. a censer: 2 Chronicles 26:19; Ezekiel 8:11; Herodotus 4, 162; Thucydides 6, 46; Diodorus 13, 3; Josephus, Antiquities 4, 2, 4; 8, 3, 8; Aelian v. h. 12, 51.
2. the altar of incense: Philo, rer. div. haer. § 46; vit. Moys. 3 § 7; Josephus, Antiquities 3, 6, 8; 3, 8, 3; b. j. 5, 5, 5; Clement of Alexandria; Origen; and so in Hebrews 9:4 [(where Tr marginal reading brackets), also 2 Tr marginal reading in brackets], where see Bleek, Lünemann, Delitzsch, Kurtz, in opposition to those [(A. V. included)] who think it means censer; [yet cf. Harnack in the Studien und Kritiken for 1876, p. 572f].
