SIBI-P1 H5930-18
ascent-offering
| Root | עלה (ʿ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go up, ascend, rise, climb, go up in smoke |
| Semantic Range | ascent, stair-step (rare), whole burnt offering, offering that ascends in smoke |
| Conceptual Significance | The עֹלָה is the whole offering entirely consumed on the altar, symbolizing complete surrender and devotion as the sacrifice "ascends" to יהוה. Its ascending smoke embodies the worshiper’s approach and dedication rising upward to the divine presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun (absolute). Though lexically a noun, it is historically related to the feminine active participle of עלה, indicating "that which goes up." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלָה is a feminine singular form derived from the root עלה (“to go up, ascend”). "Ascent-offering" preserves the core idea of something that goes up—specifically in smoke upon the altar—while reflecting the singular feminine noun in the absolute state. |
