Strong's Lexicon osmé: Fragrance, aroma, odor Original Word: ὀσμή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: osmé Pronunciation: os-MAY Phonetic Spelling: (os-may') Definition: Fragrance, aroma, odor Meaning: a smell, odor, savor. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὄζω (ozō), meaning "to smell" or "to emit a scent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a pleasing aroma is רֵיחַ (reyach), Strong's Hebrew 7381, which is used in the context of sacrifices and offerings in the Old Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, "osmé" is used to describe a scent or fragrance, often in a metaphorical sense. It conveys the idea of a pleasing aroma, typically associated with offerings or sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God. The term can also be used to describe the spiritual influence or impact of believers as they live out their faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, as well as in Jewish tradition, fragrances and aromas held significant symbolic meaning. Incense and aromatic offerings were integral to religious rituals, symbolizing prayers ascending to the divine. The concept of a "pleasing aroma" was deeply embedded in sacrificial practices, where the scent of burning offerings was believed to be pleasing to the gods or to God, signifying acceptance and favor.
