Sacrifices
There they washed the carcasses of the animals to be burnt whole as sacrifices.
Ezekiel 40:38
Animal sacrifices is an alien concept to most of us in 2021. And that's a good thing, in many ways. Killing a cow or a pigeon for many vegans is barbaric even for us to eat. How much more then the idea of a sin offering? The whole Jewish Temple which Ezekiel describes here was destroyed by the Romans around AD 70. Since then, Jews no longer kill animals as the Levitical law requires. Christians see Jesus's death as the perfect sacrifice that replaces the need for animal sacrifices.
