Your Question:
Why did I have to lose my sense of smell?
Answer:
I'm not aware of a direct reason why you would have to lose your sense of smell. However, I do recall a passage from the Bible that mentions the pleasing aroma of incense and animal sacrifice to God. In Genesis 8:21, it's written that the smell of the burning fat of animal sacrifice was considered pleasing to God. This concept is also mentioned in the context of incense being used as a substitute or symbolic sacrifice. In a hot climate, incense would have been a practical solution to eliminate unpleasant smells from animal sacrifices and other rank odors. I'm not sure how this relates to losing one's sense of smell, but it's an interesting aspect of how our senses can be connected to our understanding and appreciation of God's creation.
