Superb thought: "It is all about presence". An offering must be brought by those owning a passionate and sincere heart. Matthew 2:2 states that the wise men had “come to worship him”. They opened their treasures and presented him with gifts [korban] of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Perhaps the incense (oils) were placed inside of a "golden vessel" whose use was restricted to the Holy of Holies. The magi knew they were in the very presence of Adonai.
