The noun names the offering brought to or presented on an altar: in 2 Chronicles 29:32 the APB renders animals brought by the assembly as offerings “to the LORD,” and in 1 Kings 18:34 it renders the clause about water poured on the offering and the wood. It also occurs in prescribed recurring observance: Exodus 29:42 calls for a continual offering at the entrance of the tent of meeting, while Ezekiel 46:15 specifies its preparation each morning. In 1 Kings 18:38 and 2 Chronicles 7:1, the APB renders fire as consuming the offering in those events.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the noun with the phrase “burnt offering,” including offerings brought to the LORD, offerings made on an altar, and regular daily or continual observance. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings confirm the verse-level setting without establishing finer distinctions from English wording alone.
