SIBI-P1 Translation H5930-15
ascending offering
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in the absolute state; historically a feminine active participial form from עלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a feminine singular form derived from the root עלה (“to ascend”), originally denoting something that goes up. "Ascending offering" preserves the participial sense of that which rises (in smoke) while reflecting its established cultic meaning of a sacrifice wholly consumed by fire. |
