altar in Genesis 8
ALL-ter
This thing shows up in Genesis 8:20: “Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 8:20
“Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.”
