What is the significance of a burnt offering in religious contexts?

Answer 1

It's when you burn something to offer it to a god or gods, usually on an altar made for this purpose - made of stone and outside. Many ancient cultures practiced this; it was believed that the smoke rising to heaven and the transformation via fire sent the essence of the grain or lamb or whatever, to the god(s).
