Exegesis
Olah {עֹלָה | ō·lāh} introduces the burnt offering, while the idiom reiach nichoach {רֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ | rē·yaḥ ni·ḥō·aḥ} ‘aroma of pleasing’ signals divine acceptance, followed by isheh {אִשֶּׁה | ī·sheh} ‘fire offering’ specifying sacrificial means.
In context — Numbers 28:13
And a tenth part, a tenth part of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil for each lamb—a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma and a fire offering to the LORD .
