Prayer
Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading -Covenant with Noah and descendants
15-16Then God told Noah, “You may all go out. 17Release all the animals, birds, and reptiles, so that they will breed abundantly and reproduce in great numbers.” 18-19So the boat was soon empty. Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives all disembarked, along with all the animals, reptiles, and birds — all left the ark in pairs and groups.
20Then Noah built an altar and sacrificed on it some of the animals and birds God had designateda for that purpose. 21And Jehovah was pleased with the sacrificeb and said to himself, “I will never do it again — I will never again curse the earth, destroying all living things, even though man’s bent is always toward evil from his earliest youth, and even though he does such wicked things. 22As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.”
. . . . . Genesis 8:15-22- Literally, “clean,” i.e., ritually approved by God.
- Literally, “And Jehovah smelled the delicious odor.”
