Genesis 8:21

The Lord smelled a sweet savor - That is, he was well pleased with this religious act, performed in obedience to his own appointment, and in faith of the promised Savior. That this sacrifice prefigured that which was offered by our blessed Redeemer in behalf of the world, is sufficiently evident from the words of St. Paul, Ephesians 5:2 : Christ hath loved us, and given himself for its an offering and a sacrifice to God for a Sweet-Smelling Savor; where the words of the apostle are the very words used by the Septuagint in this place.

I will not again curse the ground - lo osiph , I will not add to curse the ground - there shall not be another deluge to destroy the whole earth: for the imagination of man' s heart, ki , Although the imagination of man' s heart should be evil, i.e. should they become afterwards as evil as they have been before, I will not destroy the earth by a Flood. God has other means of destruction; and the next time he visits by a general judgment, Fire is to be the agent. II Peter 3:7.
