Bible Note: "sacrifice" means "to make sacred" Life is sacred, even the lives of animals is sacred. The Torah laws regarding the rituals of sacrifice were not given yet. Adam and Eve were vegetarian, meat wasn't eaten til after the flood and the only dietary law was the prohibition against the consumption of blood which means you don't eat meat raw. An animal had to be slain as humanely as possible so it didn't suffer. |
