Reference: Offering, Offering Up
Morish
There were two distinct actions connected with the sacrifices. Any Israelite could bring an offering, or offer a gift, or a sacrifice; but only the priest could offer up the sacrifice on the altar to God. In the N.T. there are two Greek words translated 'to offer.' One is ????????, 'to bring to,' 'present.' This is used in Mt 2:11, of the wise men who 'presented' their gifts unto the Lord. So too vinegar was 'offered' to the Lord on the cross. Lu 23:36. The word is referred to the Lord in Heb 9:14,25,28; 10:12. The other word is ???????, 'to bring up,' and hence 'to offer up.' In Mt 17:1, Jesus, 'bringeth up' Peter, etc.; and in Lu 24:51 the Lord was 'carried up' into heaven. This word is employed in Heb 7:27, both as to the high priest 'offering up' sacrifices and to Jesus who 'offered up' Himself. It occurs also in Mr 9:2; Heb 9:28; 13:15; Jas 2:21; 1Pe 2:5,24.
In the LXX the word ???????? is mostly a translation of qarab, 'to draw near,' which constantly occurs in Leviticus and Numbers in the laws respecting the offering of sacrifices, and is translated 'to offer.' On the other hand ??????? is chiefly the rendering adopted for alah, 'to ascend, to make to ascend.' The word alah is frequently translated 'to offer,' but only twice in Leviticus (Le 14:20; 17:8); and four times in Numbers (Nu 23:2,4,14,30), when Balaam and Balak offered up sacrifices. Both Greek words are applied to Christ as to the offering of Himself. Heb 9:14; 7:27. They are both also used of Abraham offering Isaac; he gave Isaac, and as a priest virtually offered him up. Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21.
