This is a regular burnt offering
The phrase "regular burnt offering" refers to the continual or daily sacrifices that were instituted by God for the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "regular" is "תָּמִיד" (tamid), which means perpetual or continual. This indicates the ongoing nature of the offering, symbolizing the constant need for atonement and dedication to God. The "burnt offering" (Hebrew: "עֹלָה" - olah) was entirely consumed by fire, representing total surrender and devotion to God. It served as a daily reminder of the Israelites' covenant relationship with God and their need for purification.

established at Mount Sinai
The establishment of the burnt offering at Mount Sinai underscores the significance of the covenantal laws given to Moses. Mount Sinai is a pivotal location in biblical history, where God revealed Himself and delivered the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew root for "established" is "צָוָה" (tzavah), meaning to command or ordain. This highlights the divine authority and intentionality behind the sacrificial system. The offerings were not merely ritualistic but were divinely instituted practices meant to draw the people closer to God and remind them of His holiness and their need for obedience.

as a pleasing aroma
The phrase "pleasing aroma" (Hebrew: "רֵיחַ נִיחוֹחַ" - reyach nichoach) is a metaphorical expression indicating that the offering was acceptable and delightful to God. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sense of smell was often associated with divine favor. The "pleasing aroma" signifies God's acceptance of the sacrifice and, by extension, the worshiper. It reflects the idea that sincere worship and obedience are delightful to God, emphasizing the relational aspect of the sacrificial system.

an offering made by fire
The term "offering made by fire" (Hebrew: "אִשֶּׁה" - ishsheh) refers to the method of sacrifice, where the offering is consumed by fire on the altar. Fire in the Bible often symbolizes God's presence, purity, and judgment. The use of fire in sacrifices underscores the transformative process of the offering, turning the physical into the spiritual. It also serves as a reminder of God's consuming holiness and the need for purification through sacrifice.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" (Hebrew: "לַיהוָה" - l'YHWH) indicates the ultimate recipient of the offering. The use of the divine name YHWH emphasizes the personal and covenantal relationship between God and Israel. It is a reminder that the sacrifices were not just religious duties but acts of worship directed to the one true God. This phrase underscores the monotheistic faith of Israel and their unique relationship with God, who is both transcendent and immanent.

(6) Which was ordained in mount Sinai . . . Or, which was offered (Hebrew, made) in Mount Sinai. Ibn Ezra adduces this passage as a proof that the Israelites ceased to offer burnt sacrifices after they left the encampment at Sinai throughout the time of their wanderings in the wilderness.
