Chapter 22v - Bloodshed and suffering
Continued from Chapter 22u Bloodshed and vicarious suffering: The Torah view The blood shed is all-important in the symbolic ritual of animal sacrifice done in the Temple, but forgiveness of sin can be obtained anywhere without the sacrificial aspect. The sin-offering can help make atonement by being part of the Temple ritual, but it is not required for forgiveness. Only sincere repentance is required. Repentance is a turning point of the heart and mind from sin. This is made clear in Psalms
