Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ὅλος (holos), meaning "whole" or "entire," and καίω (kaiō), meaning "to burn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5930 עֹלָה (olah): Refers to a burnt offering, a sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire.

The concept of ὁλοκαύτωμα in the New Testament serves as a theological bridge, connecting the sacrificial practices of the Old Testament with the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the theme of total dedication and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

Usage: The term ὁλοκαύτωμα is used in the New Testament to refer to a type of sacrifice in which the entire offering is burned on the altar as an act of worship and atonement. It signifies total dedication to God.

Context: The concept of ὁλοκαύτωμα, or whole burnt offering, is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. It represents a form of worship where the entire animal is consumed by fire, symbolizing the worshiper's complete surrender and devotion to God. This type of offering was a common practice among the Israelites, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law, and was intended to atone for sin and express reverence to God.

In the New Testament, the term ὁλοκαύτωμα is mentioned in the context of discussing the inadequacy of the old sacrificial system compared to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. For instance, in Hebrews 10:6-8 (BSB), it is written: "In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight. Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’” This passage highlights the transition from the traditional sacrifices to the perfect and complete sacrifice of Christ, who fulfilled the law and provided a new covenant through His death and resurrection.

The whole burnt offering serves as a foreshadowing of Christ's total offering of Himself for the redemption of humanity. It underscores the principle of complete dedication and the necessity of a pure and wholehearted approach to worship.
