Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 16:19

Ezek 16:19 · Douay-Rheims
“And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.”
On this verse:
“My meat . . . I gave-- (Hos 2:8). set it before them--as a minchah or "meat offering" (Lev 2:1). a sweet savour--literally "a savor of rest," that is, whereby they might be propitiated, and be at peace ("rest") with you; how ridiculous to seek to propitiate gods of wood! thus it was--The fact cannot be denied, for I saw it, and say it was so, saith Jehovah.”
