Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle down."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2175 (εὐωδία, euodia): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe a "fragrant aroma" or "sweet-smelling savor," often in the context of spiritual sacrifices or offerings that are pleasing to God (e.g., Ephesians 5:2, BSB). Usage: The word נִיחוֹחַ is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the aroma of sacrifices that are pleasing to the Lord. It is often found in the context of burnt offerings and other sacrifices, indicating that the offering is acceptable and delightful to God. Context: נִיחוֹחַ (Nichoach) is a term that appears in the context of sacrificial offerings in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to describe the "pleasing aroma" that ascends to God when offerings are made according to His commandments. This concept is central to the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, where the aroma of the burnt offerings is said to be "a pleasing aroma to the LORD" (e.g., Leviticus 1:9, BSB). The term underscores the idea that the offerings, when made with a pure heart and in accordance with divine instructions, bring delight to God. This notion of a "pleasing aroma" is symbolic of the worshiper's devotion and the reconciliation between God and humanity. The use of נִיחוֹחַ highlights the relational aspect of the sacrificial system, where the physical act of sacrifice is intertwined with spiritual obedience and reverence.
