Exegesis
The verse opens with a participial predicate, umaktirim {וּמַקְטִרִים | û-maqṭî-rîm} ‘they cause to go up in smoke,’ which sets an ongoing, customary action rather than a single event.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:11
And they make offerings go up in smoke to the LORD —burnt offerings morning by morning and evening by evening, and incense of spices—and they set an arrangement of bread on the pure table, and the gold lampstand with its lamps to keep burning evening by evening; for we are keeping the charge of the LORD our God , but you have forsaken Him.
