“וְנָתַן אֶת־הַקְּטֹרֶת עַל־הָאֵשׁ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְכִסָּה עֲנַן הַקְּטֹרֶת אֶת־הַכַּפֹּרֶת אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָעֵדוּת וְלֹא יָמוּת׃” — 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.
“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 קְ” — 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 amo
