Check this video series out, some really interesting ways of looking at the scriptures from someone tasked by the Vatican with helping prepare the “official” Spanish translation of the old testament. That is, before he was fired for voicing some intense divergences from the dogma inspired by his intense and focused analysis of the texts he was tasked with translating.
He mentions that when you look at the text it isn’t the meat itself that pleased god, it was the odor of burnt flesh, a “holo caust” of the original definition.
A gruesome way of saying the man liked the savory smell of steak.
It's interesting how translations work. Meaning gets lost.
Odor implies a negative aspect and so does burnt flesh in our language.
Char-broiled cheeseburger sounds tasty. Burnt cow flesh sounds a bit horrid and vulgar. But they didn't have a whole lot of word options to distinguish between "good burnt" and "bad burnt".
So a person of today's language hears "burnt offering" and immediately thinks this is a "bad burnt" e.g. human sacrifice.
You raise fair nuance, but that guys theory has an explanation for why it’s the scent or aroma [if you want some more “flowery” language ;) ]
It’s a VERY interesting explanation, I’d love to hear your thoughts when/if you get to that part, I don’t remember where exactly it is in the series, towards the start I think, after the part on Ruach
No, and I didn’t want to spoil it because it sounds a bit crazy, but coming from his credentials, with his explanation and build up it makes more sense.
But to sum it up, the gods mentioned in the bible have grown accustomed to the smell of burnt flesh due to its omnipresence in.... Space ships... please, don’t let the shocking nature of that interfere with checking out his information. NASA is on record stating that this is the smell produced by human skin in a false atmosphere, omni-present in the ISS
Astronauts returning from space claim that their suits smell, in a word, burnt. The lingering scent of space is “acrid” and “metallic,” reminding the astronauts of charred meat or welding fumes.

I will check that out thanks.

Are we talking about cannabis / poppy now?
There are situations where burnt offering implies food, while at other times it implies inhaling a psychoactive substance. Like the Oracle at Delphi.
Saying "God" likes the burnt offering best is like saying you treated yourself to something very spiritual. Entheogens bring out God.
It is my opinion that God/Jesus refers to entheogens and the psychedelic experience, but this understanding has been lost overtime due to prohibition.
