I found two variations on the meaning non this:
1. "And the right incense had to be “beaten small”—not offered in lumps. Some people neglect God in daily habit, and seem to think they can make up for lost time by being specially religious at certain times. This must be as odious to God as intermittent friendship would be unsatisfactory to man. The will of God is that we “pray always” (Luke 18); “in everything give thanks” (1 Thess. 5:18), be exercised in His fear all the day long (Prov. 23:17)."
-The Law of Moses
2. "To be beaten small is to be humbled by affliction. All the lumps of human pride and self-assertion must be pounded to fine powder, so that the whole mass can mix and blend smoothly, and the resultant aroma be a pleasant, balanced harmony of all the elements."
- Rene, "The Atonement"
