Burnt offering

an offering completely burned on altar:

A sacrifice offered by burning the whole animal with fire.

The term ʿōlâ comes from the verb עָלָה (ʿālâ, “to go up”).

Such sacrifices are said to produce a “sweet” or “soothing scent” that goes up to the Lord (e.g., Exod 29:18; Lev 1:13; 8:21; Num 15:3).

The animal offered is to be “without blemish” (Lev 1:3); it is cut into pieces, and some parts are washed before all the parts are burned on the altar (Exod 29:18; Lev 1:9).

In addition to herd and flock animals (Lev 23:18; Num 15:8; 28:11), a burnt offering could be a bird (Lev 1:14–17).

Burnt offerings are occasionally described as providing atonement (Lev 1:4), but this is not a major association of such offerings, and the “burnt offering” (ʿōlâ) is often distinguished from the “sin offering” (חַטָּאת, ḥaṭṭāʾt; e.g., Lev 14:22, Num 8:12
