And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground anymore for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite anymore everything living, as I have done.
As this offering was in faith, the apostle explains what the sweet smelling savour was. Ephesians 5:2. The promise in this verse is a gracious promise, and, confirmed in Christ Jesus, is, like all others, yea and amen. 2 Peter 3:13.
