Our friend Sinem asked:
 
Dear Rabbi,

I am looking for a verse about Moshiach. “When someone says he can smell the scent of Moshiach, he will be killed”.
Is there such information in Judaic texts?

Thank you, Dear Rabbi
Sinem Istanbul

 

Gidon’s answer:

This is probably the source of that:

Here is the verse that talks about Mashiachand sense (of smell)
Astoundingly, virtually all transactions listed in Biblehub translate haricho as he will delight in, none connect it to the sense of smell, while Strongs translates it this way (not surprisingly, as that is the obvious meaning in all but this verse)
