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. I. THAT NOAH GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS DELIVERANCE AS FROM GOD. II. THAT NOAH DEVOUTLY OFFERED TO GOD A SACRIFICE IN TOKEN OF HIS DELIVERANCE. 1. This sacrifice was the natural outcome of Noah's gratitude. 2. This sacrifice was not precluded by any excuse consequent upon the circumstances of Noah. III. That the sacrifice of Noah was ACCEPTABLE TO GOD AND PREVENTIVE OF FURTHER EVIL TO THE WORLD. 1. It was fragrant. 2. It was preventive of calamity. 3. It was preservative of the natural agencies of the universe. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
