Hello all
 
Concerning the following two lines
 
The gods smelled a sweet savor.    Epic of Gilgamesh tablet XI:160
The lord smelled a sweet savor     Gen. 8:21
 
Are these accurate translations of the lines, i.e. Are the Akkadian and Hebrew translations equivalent, or are there more accurate variants?
 
Regards
Noel O Riordan
