Bible Trivia - 8/18/2008

Question: What was Noah’s first act after leaving the ark?

Answer: He built an altar and offered a sacrifice to the Lord. (Genesis 8:20)

Comments: After surviving the Flood, Noah's first act after disembarking from the ark was to build an altar. This was the first altar built in all of Scripture.

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. (Genesis 8:20, NASB),

Note: This image of Noah's altar was painted by Joseph Anton Koch (1768-1839).
