However, commenting on that verse, the Gemara explains that the word “lecha” means “mishelcha – from yourself”, indicating that the ingredients of the ketores need to come from the person being addressed – Moshe Rabbeinu!4 However, this would seem to conflict with the verse in our parsha, which lists the spices for the ketores among the items that are to be collected from the Bnei Yisrael! ‫ְּבּ ָׂשִׂמִ ים ְלְ ֶׁשׁ ֶמֶ ן ַהַ ִּמּ ְׁשׁ ָחָ ה ְוְ ִלִ ְקְ ֹטֹ ֶרת ַהַ ַּסּ ִּמּ ים‬ Spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of spices (25:6) Background: “Besamim” and “Samim” The Meshech Chochmah begins his comment on this verse by referring the reader to the commentaries of the Ramban and Ibn Ezra. in Ki Sisa where Hashem commands Moshe concerning the Ketores: ‫ַקַח ְלְ ָך ַסַ ִּמּ ים ָנָָטָ ף ּוְׁשֵׁחֵ ֶלֶת ְוְ ֶחֶ ְלְ ְּבּ ָנָה ַסַ ִּמּ ים ּוְלְ ֹבֹ ָנָה ַזַָּכּה‬ Take for yourself spices, stact, onyca and galbanum – spices and pure frankincense.2 We know that the ketores comprises eleven ingredients, yet the verse appears to mention only four of them.

Indeed, the Gemara expounds the words in the verse to total eleven, with the identity of the remaining seven being a matter of oral tradition.3 However, the question remains: Why were only four out of the eleven ingredients mentioned by name in the verse? If we assume that the terms “besamim” and “samim” are not the same thing, but rather refer to two different types of ingredients,1 then why does the verse say that “besamim” were needed for ketores that is made up of “samim”?
