OET (OET-RV) When Yahweh smelt the pleasant aroma, he said to himself, “I’ll never curse the ground because of humankind again, even though the humankind’s hearts are inclined from their youth to do evil things. And I’ll never again destroy every living thing again like I’ve just done.

8:21 pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice (literally smelled the sweet aroma): The narrator uses anthropomorphic language (i.e., he describes God’s activity in human terms) to show God’s acceptance of Noah’s offering (see also Exod 29:18; Lev 1:9; Num 15:3). The common ancient Near Eastern notion that the gods ate the sacrifices offered to them is notably absent.
• to himself (literally in his heart): The phrase echoes “broke his heart” (6:6), just as think or imagine echoes “everything they thought or imagined” (6:5). God’s commitment to a new order replaced his grief over the old.
• I will never again curse . . . destroy: The old curse was not lifted (5:29), but God promised not to add to it, thus establishing new limits for life in a disordered world (cp. Isa 54:9). The flood was to stop violence, not to reform the human heart (Gen 6:5). Humankind’s bent toward evil would be contained to some degree through accountability to a new law (9:5-6).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
