Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 3:27 וְרֵ֣יחַ and [the] smell of

    and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.

    Here: "And the smell of". Smoke smell clings to anyone who has merely stood near a fire. This is the last and faintest trace, and even it is denied.
