its ascents, its steps (noun: stairways or steps leading up to a structure, possibly textually uncertain)
This phrase appears in Ezekiel 40:26, describing the architectural features of the visionary temple. The context is the ascent to the gateway, and 'its ascents' (or 'its steps') refers to the stairway leading up. The BDB does not provide a separate entry, suggesting the form may be a variant or a Ketiv-Qere issue. The multilingual glosses diverge: some render 'its ascents' or 'its steps,' while others default to 'burnt offering' (the more common sense of עֹלָה). The architectural context favors 'ascents.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — Denotes the stairways or steps leading up to a temple gateway in Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel 40:26, appearing twice in the verse). The form is likely a plural construct ('its ascents'), describing the architectural feature. Spanish and German glosses reflect textual uncertainty (parenthetical or bracketed forms), while French defaults to 'burnt offering,' indicating possible confusion with the homonymous עֹלָה. 2×
