King Priest Noah Offers Sacrifices

God did not forget about Noah as the king-priest Noah offers sacrifices. The ALMIGHTY remembered him and all the animals that were with him in the boat. God made a wind blow over the earth, and all the water began to disappear. The water that covered the earth began to go down.

After 150 days the water was low enough that the boat touched land again. The boat stopped on one of the mountains of Ararat. This was the 17th day of the seventh month. After that Noah opened the door of the boat. He looked and saw that the ground was dry.

This was the first day of the first month of the year. He was 601 years old. By the 27th day of the second month, the ground was completely dry. Bring every living animal out of the boat with you—all the birds, animals, and everything that crawls on the earth.

Noah Offers Sacrifices that Pleased the ALMIGHTY

These animals will make many more animals, and they will fill the earth again.” Then Noah built an altar to honor the Lord. Noah took some of all the clean birds and some of all the clean animals and burned them on the altar as a gift to God.

The Lord smelled these sacrifices, and it pleased him. The Lord said to himself, “I will never again curse the earth as a way to punish people. People are evil from the time they are young, but I will never again destroy every living thing on the earth as I did this time.

As long as the earth continues, there will always be a time for planting and a time for harvest. There will always be cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night on earth.”

20 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.

21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
