[Greek or Hebrew]; if his Corban be Hola. From [Greek or Hebrew], Hala, ascendit, to go upward, it was so called. The LXX. render it for the most part by [Greek or Hebrew], or [Greek or Hebrew], as doth our Apostle, Chap. 10.6. that which is wholly consumed or burnt, as this was all but the skin. For the [Greek or Hebrew] mentioned, v. 8. and Chap. 8. v. 20. and no where else in the Scripture, rather signifies the whole trunk of the body after the head was cut off, then the fat of the Caul, as we render it. And it is not unlike, but they might make use of the word [Greek or Hebrew], because the beginning of it answers in sound unto the Hebrew [Greek or Hebrew], for that they were at a loss in expressing the names of the particular Sacrifices, hath been declared. But [Greek or Hebrew] signifies to ascend; and because things that do so, do disappear, and seem not to be, it denotes also to consume, or to be consumed; and from either of these significations, this Sacrifice which was wholly burnt, may take its name.
