An offering or sacrifice that is entirely burned upon the altar, with nothing retained by offerer or priests; fundamentally, a sacrificial act characterized by the complete consumption of the victim by fire.

The term can also denote the act or process of the offering ascending (by fire or smoke) or, in certain cases, ascent or stairway.

ascending-offerings
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun, absolute state; derived from a feminine active participle of עלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine plural absolute form of עֹלָה, a feminine active participle from עלה (“to ascend”). "Ascending-offerings" preserves the participial sense of something that goes up, reflecting both the root meaning and the plural morphology. |
