What's with God's nose? Throughout Leviticus the priests are constantly "turning offerings into smoke" so that God can smell it. God repeatedly makes a judgment depending on how well something smells. I admit that I tend to see the nose as a bit of an inferior organ. I like it when God "sees" something or "hears" my voice. I like it when God speaks and when God's hand comes down. But nose? It just seems, well, un-god-like. Perhaps I'm underestimating the importance of the nose. I'm certainly glad I have mine. Perhaps God is too. A pleasant odor certainly makes my life better, and maybe it does for God too.
