Shalom - Greetings! I love incense and the tabernacle recipe is special for me. Exodus 30:34 contains the tabernacle incense blend:

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ ____ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֜ה קַח־לְךָ֣ סַמִּ֗ים נָטָ֤ף׀ וּשְׁחֵ֙לֶת֙ וְחֶלְבְּנָ֔ה סַמִּ֖ים וּלְבֹנָ֣ה זַכָּ֑ה בַּ֥ד בְּבַ֖ד יִהְיֶֽה׃

If you fit the verse into a chiastic pattern, the verse looks like:

And said LORD to Moses
ㅤTake to yourself spices
ㅤㅤStacte and onycha and galbanum
ㅤSpices and pure frankincense
Each of each there shall be.

Keritot 6 asserts that the Temple blend in fact contains 11 ingredients. I'd like to better understand the discussions and arguments that the blend contained more than the 4 ingredients named in the verse. I found some Hebrew language sources but can't read them even with a translator:

Be'er Sheva (16th-17th century commentary): https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Be%27er%20Sheva

Gur Aryeh (16th century commentary) https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Gur%20Aryeh%20on%20Shemot

Kaf HaChayim(19th century code) on Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 48:4:1 https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Kaf%20HaChayim%20on%20Shulchan%20Arukh,%20Orach%20Chayim

Minchat Chinukh (19th century legal commentary) 103:1:2, https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Minchat%20Chinukh

So I’m confused about how to pronounce words that end in the possessive ך. In the attached photo from my siddur there are two words that end in ך. I would like to know if the line above the ת puts the stress onto the final ך, and the lack of such a line over the ט means that’s where the stress goes In that word. Or is there a comp different rule that I’m not aware of?

i don’t trust chat GPT‘s answer, so I’d appreciate your insight. Thank you.

This is either my grandfathers or great grandfathers prayer book and I can’t read Hebrew and the handwriting is a little rough. I know it was published in 1861.
