H5930 — עֹלָה (olah) — "burnt offering"¶

Transliteration: ʻôlâh Pronunciation: o-law Part of Speech: feminine noun (n-f) Total Occurrences: 302 (BLB count: 289) Definition: Feminine active participle of [עָלָה, to ascend]; a step or (collectively, stairs, as ascending); usually a holocaust (as going up in smoke).

Key Note on Etymology:¶

The word comes from the root עלה "to go up, ascend." The burnt offering is literally "the ascending one" — it goes up entirely to God in smoke. None of it remains for the worshipper. This distinguishes it from peace offerings (shared) or sin offerings (eaten by priest). The daily tamid was a burnt offering = entirely given to God.

H3532 kebes: specifically a young ram, used for the DAILY offering
H7716 seh: generic member of a flock (sheep or goat), used for PASSOVER (Exo 12:3-5) and general references

Contrast with H8163 (sa'ir) — Day of Atonement goat:¶

H8163 sa'ir: "shaggy, he-goat" — used specifically in Lev 16 for Day of Atonement goats
The daily offering uses a LAMB; Day of Atonement uses GOATS — different animals for different functions

H7004 — קְטֹרֶת (qetoreth) — "incense"¶

Transliteration: qᵉṭôreth Pronunciation: ket-o-reth Part of Speech: feminine noun (n-f) Total Occurrences: 72 (BLB count: 60) Definition: From קטר (to smoke); a fumigation, sweet incense, perfume.

Incense altar and formula: Exo 25:6; 30:1,7,8,9,27,35,37; 31:11; 35:8,15,28; 37:29; 39:38; 40:27 In worship service: Lev 4:7 (altar of sweet incense); 10:1 (Nadab and Abihu); 16:12,13 (Day of Atonement) Korah's rebellion: Num 16:7,17,18,35,40; 17:5,11,12 Regular priestly duty: 1Sa 2:28; 2Ch 2:4; 13:11; 29:7 Prayer identification: Psa 141:2 ("Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense") Prophetic critique: Isa 1:13 ("incense is an abomination unto me")

G1793 — ἐντυγχάνω (entugchano) — "make intercession"¶

Transliteration: entynchánō Pronunciation: en-toong-khan-o Part of Speech: verb (v) Total Occurrences: 5 Definition: From ἐν (in) + τυγχάνω (to obtain); to chance upon, confer with; by implication, to entreat, appeal, intercede.

All 5 Occurrences:¶

Acts 25:24 — "have dealt with me" (petitioned, Festus speaking about Jews approaching him)
Romans 8:27 — "he maketh intercession for the saints" (the Spirit intercedes)
Romans 8:34 — "maketh intercession for us" (Christ at God's right hand)
Romans 11:2 — "he maketh intercession to God against" (Elijah against Israel)
Hebrews 7:25 — "to make intercession for them" (Christ ever liveth to intercede)

Theological Significance:¶

In Rom 8:27 and 8:34, BOTH the Spirit and Christ are said to ἐντυγχάνω — a double intercession
Both use present tense — ongoing, continuous intercession
Heb 7:25 explicitly connects this to Christ's eternal life: He lives for the PURPOSE of intercession
The contrast in Rom 11:2 (Elijah interceding AGAINST Israel) shows the word itself is neutral — direction depends on context

G286 — ἀμνός (amnos) — "lamb"¶

Transliteration: amnós Pronunciation: am-nos Part of Speech: masculine noun (n-m) Total Occurrences: 4 (BLB count: 4) Definition: Apparently a primary word; a lamb.

All 4 Occurrences:¶

John 1:29 — "Behold the Lamb (ἀμνός) of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"
John 1:36 — "Behold the Lamb (ἀμνός) of God"
Acts 8:32 — "He was led as a sheep (ἀμνός) to the slaughter" (quoting Isa 53:7)
1 Peter 1:19 — "the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb (ἀμνός) without blemish"

Distinguished from G721 (arnion):¶

G286 ἀμνός (4x): sacrificial lamb, the victim — used in contexts of Christ's sacrifice
G721 ἀρνίον (30x, all in Revelation): the triumphant Lamb who has conquered — used of the glorified Christ
The shift from ἀμνός to ἀρνίον reflects the progression from sacrifice to victory

LXX Connection:¶

In the LXX, ἀμνός translates H3532 (kebes) in contexts of burnt offering (the daily sacrifice lamb), establishing a direct verbal link between the OT tamid lamb and Christ.

G749 — ἀρχιερεύς (archiereus) — "high priest"¶

Transliteration: archiereús Pronunciation: ar-khee-er-yuce Part of Speech: masculine noun (n-m) Total Occurrences: 102 (BLB count: 123) Definition: From ἀρχι- (chief) + ἱερεύς (priest); the high priest.
