Genesis 8:21, ARTB, Inhaling |
|
Yahweh inhaled the aromatic scent. Yahweh said into his heart, "Never more will I curse the earth again because of humans, for the human heart designs evil from its youth."
(Genesis 8:21) ARTB
Note from A. Frances Werner:
Earlier in the week, I mentioned that the word SPIRIT-WIND is associated with the word INHALE. Prior to this verse, Noah has emerged from the ark and completed a thanksgiving sacrifice.
Most translations utilize the word SMELL instead of INHALE. No doubt Yahweh could SMELL the aromatic scent, but the word INHALE also shows a deeper experience. On spring days, we not only SMELL the clean rain, but we also INHALE deeply to "take a piece" of spring deeply into our bodies. That truly reflects the SPIRIT-WIND of God.
