SIBI-P1 H5207-01
a rest-giving aroma
| Root | נוח (n-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | rest, settling down, repose, quietness, relief |
| Semantic Range | soothing aroma, calming fragrance, pleasing scent, aroma that brings relief or satisfaction (especially in sacrificial contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | Frequently used in sacrificial language to describe offerings ascending to YHWH as an "aroma of rest," expressing divine acceptance and the restoration of relational harmony. The term frames worship in terms of bringing rest or satisfaction before God. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; used substantivally, often in construct with sacrificial offerings (e.g., "aroma of rest"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root נוח ("to rest, settle down") and describes an aroma that brings about rest or soothing. Rendering it as "a rest-giving aroma" preserves the root idea of rest while reflecting the masculine singular absolute noun form (HNcmsa). |
