SIBI-P1 H5930-20
whole-ascendings
| Root | עלה (ʿ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go up, ascend, rise, climb, bring up, cause to ascend |
| Semantic Range | burnt offering, whole burnt sacrifice, ascent, stairway (in other contexts of the root), that which rises upward |
| Conceptual Significance | The עֹלָה is a central sacrificial category in the Torah, symbolizing total consecration and surrender to YHWH. Unlike other offerings, it is wholly consumed on the altar, embodying the act of something entirely ascending to God, reinforcing themes of devotion, atonement, and restored relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine noun, plural absolute (HNcfpa). Derived from the Qal root עלה and functioning substantivally to denote that which ascends. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלָה derives from the root עלה, "to go up," and refers to a sacrifice that wholly "goes up" in smoke to YHWH. The form עֹלֹת is feminine plural absolute, so the rendering "whole-ascendings" preserves both the plural number and the core idea of ascending upward, highlighting the complete rising of the offering. |
