#Smell Words: #Stink #Odor #Savory #Musty #Aroma #Cologne #Perfume #Potpourri #Smolder #Olfactory etc.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how (in brothers Cain-&-Abel's first sacrifice-by-fire, in a lot of the fire-offerings described in the Exodus-books (Exodus, Leviticus ... maybe Numbers & Deuteronomy)) 'the smell of the offering' was the main sign that Our Heavenly Father approved-or-disapproved of the offering.

(That sticks out in my memory because the books also specify certain things that are to be burned "outside the camp"—a place that would be known as Sheol (Hell) when the Israelis finally settled in their Promised Land.)
