Bible Question (short): why blood for sin-offering? |
Question (full): I was reading Genesis right after Adam and Eve were kicked out and Cain and Abel were born...I wanted to know why a lamb (brought by Abel for the sin-offering) was proper..or that is to say why is blood required for atonement? |
