An offering-of a sweet savour ] ishsheh reiach nichoach , a fire-offering , an odour of rest , or, as the Septuagint express it, θυσιαοσμηευωδιας, "a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savour;" which place St. Paul had evidently in view when he wrote : "Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering , καιθυσιανειςοσμηνευωδιας, and a sacrifice, for a sweet-smelling savour ," 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.

Verse 9. An offering-of a sweet savour]

ishsheh reiach nichoach, a fire-offering, an odour of rest, or, as the Septuagint express it, θυσιαοσμηευωδιας, "a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savour;" which place St. Paul had evidently in view when he wrote Eph 5:2: "Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering, καιθυσιανειςοσμηνευωδιας, and a sacrifice, for a sweet-smelling savour," 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.
