Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, dedicating it to Him, to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually, and to offer burnt offerings morning and evening, on Sabbaths, on new moons, and on the appointed feasts of the Lord our God. This is to be done in Israel forever.

The symbolic meaning of “burning incense” is indicated in Revelation 8:3–4. Consulting cross-references for these verses is also helpful.
