Exegesis
The nouns rê-aḥ {רֵֽיחַ | rê-aḥ} “aroma” and nî-ḥō-aḥ {נִיחֹ֖חַ | nî-ḥō-aḥ} “pleasing” qualify the offering as acceptable before la-YHWH {לַֽיהוָה | la-YHWH} “to the LORD.” This sequence—verb + demonstrative + object marker + infinitive construct + noun series—reflects typical Hebrew legal syntax and ensures the ritual action’s clarity and purpose.
