and=he/it_built Noaḩ altar

An altar was an elevated, often table-shaped structure made out of stones where certain animals and crops were burned as sacrifices to God. Alternate translation: “Then Noah built an altar out of large stones” or “Then Noah made a sacrifice table with large stones”

לַֽ⁠יהוָ֑ה

to/for=YHWH

Alternate translation: “dedicated to Yahweh,” or “to worship Yahweh,”

וַ⁠יִּקַּ֞ח

and=he/it_took

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Then he chose”

מִ⁠כֹּ֣ל הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֣ה הַ⁠טְּהוֹרָ֗ה וּ⁠מִ⁠כֹּל֙ הָ⁠ע֣וֹף הַ⁠טָּהֹ֔ר

from=all the=cattle/livestock the,clean and=from=all the,bird the,clean

In the Bible, a clean animal or bird is one that is acceptable to be sacrificed to God or eaten; it does not refer to how clean the animal or bird was physically. See how you translated this term in Gen 7:2, 8. Alternate translation: “some of every kind of pure animal and one of every kind of clean bird,” or “some of every kind of animal and bird that are acceptable to sacrifice”

and=he/it_ascended burnt_offerings in/on/at/with,altar

When animals were sacrificed, they were killed first, not burned alive. Consider whether or not you need to make that information explicit in your translation. Alternate translation: “and he killed them and offered them as burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar.” or “and he killed them and burned their bodies on the altar as gifts to Yahweh to honor him.”
