Leviticus 1:9

An offering - of a sweet savor - ניחוח ריח אשה ishsheh reiach nichoach , a fire-offering, an odour of rest, or, as the Septuagint express it, θυσια οσμη ευωδιας , "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, και θυσιαν - εις οσμην ευωδιας , 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.
