This Aramaic noun means smell or odor, appearing in Daniel 3:27 in the phrase 'the smell of fire had not come upon them.' After Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego emerge from the furnace, observers note that not even the scent of fire clings to them—their clothes, hair, and bodies show no trace of smoke or burning. The term emphasizes the completeness of their miraculous preservation: not just survival, but total absence of any effect from the fire.
