SIBI-P1 H5930-11
for an ascent-offering
| Root | עלה (ʿ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go up, ascend, rise, climb, bring up |
| Semantic Range | ascent, upward movement; stair or step; whole burnt offering; sacrifice that ascends in smoke |
| Conceptual Significance | The עֹלָה was a central sacrificial act in Israel’s worship, wholly consumed on the altar as smoke ascending to YHWH. It embodies the concept of total consecration and upward movement toward God, visually expressing devotion and atonement through what ‘goes up’ before Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a common feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa). The noun עֹלָה is a feminine form functioning substantivally, derived from the verbal root עלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלָה is a feminine singular form derived from the root עלה (“to ascend, go up”), referring to a sacrifice that ‘goes up’ in smoke. The prefixed לְ preposition is preserved as “for,” and the singular form is maintained in “an ascent-offering,” which reflects both the root idea of ascent and the specific cultic sense. |
