Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
An offering - of a sweet savor - ishsheh reiach nichoach , a fire-offering, an odour of rest, or, as the Septuagint express it, , "a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savor;" which place St. Paul had evidently in view when he wrote Ephesians 5:2 : "Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering, - , and a sacrifice, for a sweet-smelling savor," where he uses the same terms as the Septuagint. Hence we find that the holocaust, or burnt-offering, typified the sacrifice and death of Christ for the sins of the world.
