NET Notes

¹tn The Lord “smelled” (וַיָּרַח, vayyarakh) a “soothing smell” (רֵיחַ הַנִּיהֹחַ, reakh hannihoakh). The object forms a cognate accusative with the verb. The language is anthropomorphic. The offering had a sweet aroma that pleased or soothed. The expression in Lev 1 signifies that God accepts the offering with pleasure, and in accepting the offering he accepts the worshiper.

²tn Heb “and the Lord said.”

³tn Heb “in his heart.”

⁴tn Here the Hebrew word translated “curse” is קָלָל (qalal), used in the Piel verbal stem.

⁵tn The Hebrew particle כִּי (ki) can be used in a concessive sense (see BDB 473 s.v. כִּי), which makes good sense in this context. Its normal causal sense (“for”) does not fit the context here very well.

⁶tn Heb “the inclination of the heart of humankind.”

⁷tn Heb “from his youth.”
