1. fire offering, offering by fire — A technical cultic term for an offering presented to YHWH by fire on the altar. The noun appears almost exclusively in the Pentateuch's ritual legislation, predominantly in Leviticus and Numbers, with a few occurrences in Deuteronomy 18:1 and Joshua 13:14. It encompasses various types of sacrificial offerings consumed on the altar: burnt offerings (Exod 29:18, 25, 41), grain offerings (Lev 2:3, 10, 11, 16), peace offerings (Lev 3:3, 5, 9, 11), the bread of God (Lev 21:6, 21), and festival offerings (Lev 23:8; Num 28-29). Often appears in the construct chain 'fire offerings of YHWH' (ishey YHWH) as a designation for the LORD's sacred portions. The plural construct (ishey), the possessive form (ishshay, 'my fire offerings,' Lev 6:17; Num 28:2), and the conjunctive form (ve-issheh, 'and a fire offering,' Lev 22:22) are all inflectional variants of this single cultic concept, not semantically distinct senses. 65×
