Genesis 8:20 And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The text teaches — I. That worship should succeed every act of Divine deliverance. II. That sacrifice is the only medium through which acceptable service can be rendered. Noah's sacrifice expressed — 1. A feeling of supreme thankfulness. 2. A feeling of personal guilt. III. That no act of worship escapes Divine notice. IV. That human intercession vitally affects the interests of the race. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. |
