Genesis 8:20

²⁰And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.

Genesis 8 marks a pivotal turning point in the Flood narrative, shifting from judgment to the promise of renewal. After months of global deluge, God remembers Noah and his family, causing the waters to recede. Noah meticulously sends out birds to gauge the earth's dryness, eventually disembarking the ark onto a new, cleansed world. The chapter culminates in Noah's act of worship and God's solemn covenant to never again destroy all life by flood, establishing the enduring rhythm of creation.
