### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the offering laws a "sweet savour unto the LORD" is the pleasing smell of an offering burned on the altar. Interpretation: The tradition reads this as God's pleasure in an offering made rightly and with a sincere heart, not in the smoke itself. In the primary lessons: in fairy tales «the savour of the world» means all its feel and taste; «savours of» means has the look or feel of something, often something bad
