the ascending-offering
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular absolute with definite article; derived from a feminine active participle of עלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a feminine singular form with the definite article, derived from the root meaning "to ascend." Rendering it "ascending-offering" preserves the participial sense of something that goes up, reflecting the sacrifice wholly consumed as it rises in smoke. |
