Noah built an altar to Jehovah and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.

The angel replied: If I stay I will not eat your food. But if you want to prepare it, burn it as an offering to Jehovah.

So Naaman said: If you will not accept my gift, then let me have two mule-loads of earth to take home with me. From now on I will not offer sacrifices or burnt offerings to any god except Jehovah.

Let them bring songs of thanksgiving as their sacrifice. Let them tell in joyful songs what he has done.

Then you will see this and rejoice. Your heart will shake with joy. The riches of the sea will be brought to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.

Made

Jacob made a vow. He said: If God will be with me and will watch over me on my trip and give me food to eat and clothes to wear,

Bring your thanks to God as a sacrifice, and pay (make good) your vows to the Most High.

I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will keep my vows to you,

I will keep my vows to Jehovah in the presence of all his people.

Do not be late in paying a vow you make to God. He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

When you vow to Jehovah your God do not delay the payback. It would be sin, and Jehovah your God will surely require it of you.
