Hastings
The word 'savour' is used in AV literally for taste, as Mt 5:19 'If the salt have lost his savour,' and for smell, as 2Es 2:12 'an ointment of sweet savour.' It is also used figuratively in the sense of reputation, Ex 5:21 'Ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh' (lit. 'our smell to stink' as Authorized Version margin).
The verb 'to savour' is either 'to taste or smell of,' as in Pref. to AV 'to savour more of curiosity than of wisdom'; or 'to seek out or to search by tasting or smelling,' used fig. in Mr 8:33 'Thou savourest not the things that be of God.'
