When describing the forbidden fruit, the Torah says (Bereishit 3:6): “‫ – ”…וַתֵּ ֶרא הָ אִ שָ ה‬Chava, Eve, saw that it was good; “‫ – ”וְ כִ י טֹוב הָ עֵּץ לְ מַ אֲ כָל‬that the fruit was good for eating; “ ‫וְ כִ י תַ אֲ וָה‬ ‫ – ”הּוא לָ עֵּינַיִם‬that it was desirable to the eyes; all the senses, including the sense of hearing, appear there in the verses…but the sense of smell?
