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.
