Holokautoma denotes offerings named alongside sacrifices and sin offerings, contrasted with love or described as not desired.

The attested use denotes a class of offerings named alongside sacrifices and sin offerings: Hebrews 10:6 and Hebrews 10:8 place them among offerings not desired or delighted in, while Mark 12:33 contrasts all such offerings and sacrifices with wholehearted love of God and neighbor.

    In Hebrews 10:6 and Hebrews 10:8, the accusative plural form occurs in lists with sacrifices, offerings, and sin offerings; the APB renders the clauses “Burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not delight in” and “burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire nor delight in.” In Mark 12:33, the genitive plural form follows “all” in a comparison: the APB renders love for God and neighbor as “far more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Hebrews 10:6, Hebrews 10:8, and Mark 12:33, the APB presents the term as “burnt offerings.” This rendering confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
