OT-HISTORY.filter - rwp smell:



rwp@1Corinthians:12:17 @{If the whole body were an eye} (\ei holon to s“ma ophthalmos\). The eye is the most wonderful organ and supremely useful (Numbers:10:31|), the very light of the body (Luke:11:34|). And yet how grotesque it would be if there were nothing else but a great round rolling eye! A big "I" surely! {The smelling} (\hˆ osphrˆsis\). Old word from \osphrainomai\, to smell. Here alone in N.T.

rwp@John:19:39 @{Nicodemus also} (\kai Nikodˆmos\). The Synoptics tell about Joseph of Arimathea, but only John adds the help that Nicodemus gave him in the burial of Jesus, these two timid disciples, Nicodemus now at last taking an open stand. {At the first} (\to pr“ton\). Adverbial accusative and reference to strkjv@3:1ff|. {Mixture} (\migma\). Late word from \mignumi\, to mix, only here in the N.T. Many old MSS. have here \heligma\ (roll), from \heliss“\ (Hebrews:1:12|), another late word here only in N.T. It was common to use sweet-smelling spices in the burial (2Chronicles:16:14|). {Pound} (\litras\). Late word for twelve ounces, in N.T. only here and strkjv@12:3|. Nicodemus was a rich man and probably covered the entire body with the spices.
