Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: ishshah
Pronunciation: ish-sheh
Phonetic Spelling: (ish-shaw')
Definition: Offering made by fire
Meaning: a burnt-offering, a sacrifice

Word Origin: Derived from the root word אֵשׁ (esh), meaning "fire."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2378 θυσία (thusia) - meaning "sacrifice" or "offering."

- G3646 ὁλοκαύτωμα (holokautoma) - meaning "burnt offering."

Usage: The term "ishsheh" refers to offerings that are consumed by fire on the altar as a part of the sacrificial system in ancient Israel. These offerings were a central aspect of worship and were intended to be a pleasing aroma to the LORD. The concept of "ishsheh" encompasses various types of sacrifices, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, and peace offerings, all of which were integral to maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, sacrificial offerings were a common practice among various cultures as a means of appeasing deities, seeking favor, or expressing devotion. In the Hebrew Bible, the sacrificial system was uniquely tied to the covenant relationship between Yahweh and Israel. The offerings made by fire were not merely ritualistic but were deeply symbolic, representing atonement, thanksgiving, and dedication. The fire on the altar was to be kept burning continually, symbolizing God's perpetual presence and the ongoing need for atonement and worship.
