Incense and perfumes were used in temples and homes, symbolizing purity and divine presence. In the Jewish tradition, the aroma of sacrifices was considered pleasing to God, signifying the worshiper's devotion and the acceptance of their offering.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and <a href="/greek/3605.htm">ozó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fragrance<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fragrance (1), fragrant (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2175: εὐωδία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐωδία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐωδίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">εὐώδης</span>; and this from <span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">ὄζω</span>, perfect <span class="greek2">ὄδωδα</span>); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">a sweet smell, fragrance,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodian</span>, others); metaphorically, <span class="greek2">Χριστοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">εὐωδία</span> <span class="greek2">ἐσμεν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεῷ</span>, i. e.
