Scent
Scent
sent: (1) In Hos 14:7, The scent (margin his memorial) thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Scent is used for , zekher (so Massoretic Text, but the pointing is uncertain), properly memorial, whence the Revised Version margin. The English translation comes through the Septuagint which took zkr as offering of sweet savor, and so sweet savor. For the wine of Lebanon see WINE. If this translation is not right, the alternative is memorial in the sense of renown. (2) Job 14:9; Jer 48:11 for , reah, odor. Scent of the water in Job 14:9 is poetic for contact with. (3) The Wisdom of Solomon 11:18 the King James Version has filthy scents of scattered smoke, where scent is used in the obsolete sense of disagreeable odor. The translation is, however, very loose, and scents is a gloss; the Revised Version (British and American) noisome smoke.
