919. Verse 20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took from every clean beast, and from every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

'Noah built an altar to Jehovah' means a representative of the Lord. 'He took from every clean beast, and from every clean bird' means goods that stem from charity, and [the truths of] faith. 'And offered burnt offerings on the altar' means all worship stemming from those goods and truths.
