Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle down."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2175: εὐωδία (euodia) • meaning "fragrance" or "sweet smell," often used in the New Testament to describe the pleasing aroma of sacrifices or offerings to God. Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of describing something that brings pleasure or satisfaction. It is often associated with offerings or sacrifices that are pleasing to God. Context: The term נִיחוֹחַ appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of offerings that are described as a "pleasing aroma" to the Lord. This concept is closely related to the Hebrew equivalent נִיחוֹחַ, which is frequently used in the Pentateuch to describe burnt offerings and sacrifices that are acceptable to God. The idea of a "pleasing aroma" signifies that the offering is received favorably by God, symbolizing the worshiper's devotion and the restoration of fellowship between God and humanity. The term underscores the importance of the heart and intent behind the offering, rather than the mere ritualistic act.
