in the scent-of

Rootריח (r-y-ḥ)
Core Meaningsbreath, blowing, scent, odor
Semantic Rangesmell, odor (pleasant or unpleasant), fragrance, aroma, scent carried on the air
Conceptual SignificanceOften used in sacrificial contexts for a "pleasing aroma" ascending to YHWH, רֵיחַ evokes the idea of something breathed in or carried by wind, symbolizing acceptance, delight, or, conversely, offense when the odor is foul.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/with"). The construct form links it grammatically to a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֵיחַ is a masculine singular construct form, here prefixed with בְּ ("in/with"), requiring the sense "in the scent of" something that follows. Rendering it as "scent" preserves its connection to breath/blowing (related conceptually to רוּחַ), while the construct form is reflected by the "-of" relationship.
