- Tanach, Leviticus 16:13, with translation of the Jewish Publication Society:

- And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the ark-cover that is upon the testimony, that he die not.
- a. 500 C.E., Babylonian Talmud, Keritot 6b:
- אָמַר רַב חָנָא בַּר בִּזְנָא אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן חֲסִידָא כָּל תַּעֲנִית שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ מִפּוֹשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵינָהּ תַּעֲנִית שֶׁהֲרֵי חֶלְבְּנָה רִיחָה רַע וּמְנָאָה הַכָּתוּב עִם סַמְמָנֵי קְטֹרֶת.

- Rav Hana bar Bizna said that Rav Shimon the Pious said every fast that does not include the sinners of Israel does not count as a fast, for look, galbanum has a foul smell, but the verse counts it among the spices of the incense.
