“For it is the blood that makes atonement.”
The people of Israel were forbidden to offer a sacrifice in the open field. They were commanded to bring their sacrifices to the altar in front of the tent of meeting. Apparently some in the camp were offering sacrifices to goat demons on their own.
There is but one God. There is no other. There is no other reality. There is no other destiny. There is no other way of salvation.
And God’s way of salvation involved the shedding of blood.
