Exegesis
Finally, u-minchatam ve-niskeiham isheh reiach-nichoach la-YHWH {וּמִנְחָתָם֙ וְנִסְכֵּיהֶ֔ם אִשֵּׁ֥ה רֵֽיחַ-נִיחֹ֖חַ לַיהוָֽה | u·min·ḥa·tam ve·nis·ke·e·hem ʼî·šêh re·i·aḥ-ni·ḥô·aḥ la-YHWH} expands on the grain and drink offerings and the fire offering, culminating in the phrase ‘pleasing aroma,’ which conveys acceptance. English syntax preserves the Hebrew clause order while smoothing for natural reading, employing semicolons and dashes to mirror the rhythmic listing of sacrificial elements.
In context — Leviticus 23:18
And you shall bring near with the bread seven lambs without blemish one year old, one young bull, and two rams; these shall be a burnt offering to the LORD , with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
