SIBI-P1 Translation H5930-04
the ascending-offering
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular absolute with definite article (הָ); derived from a feminine participial form of עלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלָה is a feminine singular form derived from the root עלה, "to ascend," denoting that which goes up. Rendering it as "the ascending-offering" preserves both the definite article and the participial sense of something characterized by ascent, specifically through complete burning. |
