How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).
BDB lists this Strong’s number as 2 distinct words (homographs). Each count above pools all of them and is not split by sense — see the Senses section below. A low-frequency rendering may belong to a different one of those words, not the primary meaning.

All of the victim is laid on the altar except the hide and such parts as could not be washed clean. If beast the ע׳ must be a male without blemish Lv 1:3, 10; 22:18, 19, of herd or flock; if of flock, either sheep or goat; if fowl, either turtledove or young pigeon Lv 1:14, the latter usually offered by the poor †5:7; 12:8; 14:22; 15:14, 15, 29, 30; Nu 6:10, 11. A lamb was offered by individuals Lv 12:6; Nu 6:14, and by the nation at the עֹמֶר offering Lv 23:12, and daily at the עֹלַת הַבֹּקֶר 9:17; Nu 28:23; 2 K 16:15; Ez 46:13, and at morning and evening עלה תמיד Nu 28:3, †עֹלַת (הַ)תָּמִיד Ex 29:42; Nu 28:6, 10, 15, 23, 24, 31; 29:6, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 38; Ezr 3:5; Ne 10:34; Ez 46:15. These were doubled at the עֹלַת שַׁבָּת Nu 28:10. A ram was offered by Aaron and his sons †Ex 29:18; Lv 8:18; 9:2; 16:3, 5; but a young bullock was of greater value Nu 15:8, 24; 2 S 24:22 1 Ch 21:23, at consecration of Levites Nu 8:12, so calves Mi 6:6; on great occasions bullocks + rams Nu 23:1–6, 14, 15, bullocks + rams + lambs Is 1:11; one of each kind offered by tribal chiefs Nu 7:15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57, 63, 69, 76, 81, 87.

In early times whole burnt-offerings of children were sometimes made, e.g. Jephthah’s daughter Ju 11:31, Isaac proposed as, Gn 22:2 but ram substituted v 13; made to other gods 2 K 3:27; Je 19:5 +. The ע׳ was anciently made on any altar used for worship, but in P confined to †מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה Ex 30:28; 31:9; 35:16; 38:1; 40:6, 10, 29; Lv 4:7, 10, 18, 25(×2), 30, 34; 1 Ch 6:34; 16:40; 21:26, 29; 2 Ch 29:18 (not in other lit.); מזבח לעלה Jos 22:29; 1 Ch 22:1.

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 254 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 262 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.

This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
