 In the Neviim section of the Hebrew Bible, particularly passages in the Book of Judges, present the practice of the burnt offering.In the story of Gideon, a "slaughter offering" of a young goat and unleavened bread is consumed by fire sent from heaven; in the story of Samson's birth, his father, who was intending to make a "slaughter offering" so that he could give a meal to an angel, is told by the angel to burn it completely instead.The Septuagint mainly translates the Hebrew "olah" with the familiar Greek pagan term holocaust, for example in Genesis 22
