When the Law was read to the people, David would have heard this: “The soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make atonement for your souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul in it.
Kui rahvale Seadust loeti, võis Taavet kuulda: „Liha hing on veres, ja selle ma olen teile andnud altari jaoks lepituse toimetamiseks teie hingede eest; sest veri lepitab temas oleva hinge tõttu.
