Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka Genesis 8

Yabelana

The smell of the burning offering pleased the LORD, and he said: Never again will I punish the earth for the sinful things its people do. All of them have evil thoughts from the time they are young, but I will never destroy everything that breathes, as I did this time. As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat; winter and summer, day and night.

Noah built an altar where he could offer sacrifices to the LORD. Then he offered on the altar one of each kind of animal and bird that could be used for a sacrifice.

God did not forget about Noah and the animals with him in the boat. So God made a wind blow, and the water started going down.

It returned in the evening, holding in its beak a green leaf from an olive tree. Noah knew the water was finally going down.
