Of these Offerings or Gifts, some were [Greek or Hebrew] Ishim. [Greek or Hebrew] is first mentioned, Exod. 29.18. Thou shalt burn the whole Ram upon the altar, it is a burnt-offering unto the Lord, [Greek or Hebrew] a savour of rest, a firing unto the Lord; ignitio. Thus all sacrifices were called that were burned on the Altar, either wholly or any part of them. The Greeks thought they had no proper word to express this by, (as frequently in all their abundance they are straitened in expressing the signal emphasis of the divine Hebrew) have variously rendered it; not once properly, or with any intimation of the native importance of the word. Sometimes they translate it [Greek or Hebrew], Exod. 29.18. sometimes [Greek or Hebrew], to the same purpose. Levit. 11.13. chap. 2.2. a Sacrifice; sometimes [Greek or Hebrew], Levit. 2.9. that is, an Oblation, an Offering; thus most frequently. But whereas that word signifies primarily the seed of fruit, or the profit made by it, and is but tralatitiously accommodated unto Oblations, it doth most improperly express [Greek or Hebrew], which principally intended the sacrifices of beasts, as burnt in the fire. It is then the general name of all Sacrifices or Gifts burnt on the Altar, in part or in whole.
