It describes the pleasing aroma that ascends to God when offerings are made according to His instructions. This concept underscores the idea that the offerings, when given in obedience and with a sincere heart, are acceptable and pleasing to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite worship, sacrifices were a central component of religious life. The aroma of burnt offerings was symbolic of the worshiper's devotion and the desire to please God. The notion of a "pleasing aroma" reflects the relational aspect of worship, where the physical act of sacrifice is intertwined with spiritual obedience and reverence. This practice was common in the ancient Near East, where aromas from sacrifices were believed to reach the divine realm.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5207.htm">nichoach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>soothing, tranquilizing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acceptable sacrifices (1), fragrant incense (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נִרחוֺךְַ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>soothing, tranquillizing</b></font> (probably Hebraism, see Biblical Hebrew <em>id.</em>, √ <font class="hebrew2">נוּחַ</font> (√ also <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac));
