the ascending-offering
| Root | עלה (ʿ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go up, ascend, rise, climb, cause to go up |
| Semantic Range | ascent, stairway, that which goes up, whole burnt offering, holocaust sacrifice wholly consumed on the altar |
| Conceptual Significance | The עֹלָה represents a sacrifice wholly given over to YHWH, entirely consumed and rising upward in smoke. Its name emphasizes vertical movement—what "goes up" to God—symbolizing complete devotion, surrender, and the worshiper’s offering ascending into the divine presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). Derived from the Qal stem of עלה and functioning as a substantive participle. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלָה is a feminine singular form derived from the verb עלה (“to go up, ascend”), functioning as a substantivized active participle—"that which goes up." With the definite article (הָ) and feminine singular morphology (Ncfsa), it is faithfully rendered "the ascending-offering," preserving both its singular feminine form and its root sense of ascent, referring to the sacrifice that goes up in smoke. |
