Study 6 of
"Search The Scriptures” Is:
Genesis
8:20-9:29
1. What did Noah’s altar and burnt
offerings signify? To what would they correspond in our lives today? Cf. Rom. 12:I; Heb. 13:15,16.
2. Reflect on Noah’s position after the
deluge. In what ways did God encourage
him?
3. What makes human life supremely
precious? What kind of penalty is here ordained for the murderer?
4. What may we learn here concerning the place
and manner of covenant making? Can you think of other visible tokens and
pledges which seal covenants?
Note. 9:13. This does not imply that the rainbow was now seen
for the first time, but that God now made it a token of His covenant of promise
to Noah.
