English term or phrase: a God awful smell .........ver frase
Estoy atascada en esta frase, alguna sugerencia?

We see this in the work of Moses and Jesus who went amongst the slaves and those considered at the bottom of the heap and spent their lives touching, saving, and ***delivering despite what must have been a God awful smell.***

Gracias!!
