It conveys the idea of a pleasing aroma, typically associated with offerings or sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God. The term can also be used to describe the spiritual influence or impact of believers as they live out their faith.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, as well as in Jewish tradition, fragrances and aromas held significant symbolic meaning. Incense and aromatic offerings were integral to religious rituals, symbolizing prayers ascending to the divine. The concept of a "pleasing aroma" was deeply embedded in sacrificial practices, where the scent of burning offerings was believed to be pleasing to the gods or to God, signifying acceptance and favor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3605.htm">ozó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a smell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>aroma (4), fragrance (1), sweet aroma (1).<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 3744: ὀσμή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὀσμή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀσμῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ὄζω</span> (which see)), <span class="accented">a smell, odor</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/12-3.htm">John 12:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/2-14.htm">2 Corinthians 2:14</a>; <span class="greek2">θανάτου</span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">θανάτου</span>), such an odor as is emitted by death (i. e. by a deadly, pestiferous thing, a dead body), and itself causes death, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/2-16.htm">2 Corinthians 2:16</a>; <span class="greek2">ζωῆς</span> (or <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">ζωῆς</span>) such as is diffused (or emitted) by life, and itself imparts life, ibid.
