A burnt offering in Judaism (, ''korban olah''), is a form of sacrifice first described in the Hebrew Bible. The term is first used of the sacrifices of Noah. During the First Temple and Second Temple periods, the burnt offering was a twice-daily animal sacrifice offered on the altar in the temple in Jerusalem that was completely consumed by fire. The skin of the animal, however, was not burnt but given to the priests respective of their priestly division. These skins are listed as one of the twenty-four priestly gifts in Tosefta Hallah.〔Jacob Neusner. ''The Comparative Hermeneutics of Rabbinic Judaism: Why this, not that?''. p. 144.〕 == Etymology == The Hebrew noun ''olah'' (עֹלָה) occurs 289 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. It means "that which goes up (smoke )".〔Schwartz, Baruch J. "Burnt Offering", in Berlin Adele; Grossman, Maxine (eds.). ''The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion''. Oxford University Press. 2011. ISBN 978-0-19-973004-9. p.154.〕 It is formed from the active participle of the Hiphil form of the verb ''alah'' (עָלָה), "to cause to ascend." It was sometimes also called ''kalil'', an associated word found in Leviticus, meaning "entire".〔〔 Its traditional name in English is "holocaust",〔 and the word ''olah'' has traditionally been translated as "burnt offering."〔Joseph H. Prouser ''Noble soul: the life and legend of the Vilna Ger Tzedek Count Walenty Potocki'' 9781593330972, Paperback. 1593330979 2005 p44 - 2005 "The term olah refers to the 'ascent' of the smoke and flames of the sacrifice itself. The sacrifice, in its transmuted form, reaches God.”2 Like “olah,” the term “kalil” is taken from the sacrificial cult described in Leviticus, ..."〕〔Bernard Jacob Bamberger ''Leviticus: commentary'' Jewish Publication Society of America, Central Conference of American Rabbis 1979 p.9 "In English, olah has for centuries been translated "burnt offering." "〕〔Lawrence H. Schiffman, Florentino García Martínez ''The courtyards of the house of the Lord: studies on the Temple scroll'' 2008 p354 "The term ''olah'', literally referring to a sacrifice “which goes up,” is usually translated as “burnt offering.”〕 The term was translated as ''holocauston'' in the Septuagint. Today, some English Bible translations render the word as ''holocaust'', and others translate it as "burnt offering". For example, Exodus 18:12a is translated in the New American Bible as ''Then Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, brought a holocaust and other sacrifices to God'', while it is translated in the New International Version as ''Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God''.〔(Holocaust word )〕 In classical rabbinical literature, there are several different etymologies given for the term ''olah'',〔''Jewish Encyclopedia''〕 though all agree that it literally translates as ''(that which) goes up''. Some classical rabbis argued that the term referred to ''ascent of the mind'' after making the sacrifice, implying that the sacrifice was for atonement for evil thoughts, while others argued that it was a sacrifice ''to the highest'', because it was entirely given over to the deity.〔 Modern scholars, however, argue that it simply refers to the burning process, as the meat ''goes up in flames''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burnt offering (Judaism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
