When God was dealing with ancient Israel, he had an arrangement to cover, or atone for, sins ​ — sacrifices that covered sin, setting matters straight between humans and God. ​ — Exodus 29: 36; Leviticus 16: 11, 15, 16; 17: 11.
Kui Jumal tegeles muistse Iisraeliga, oli tal pattude katmise ehk lepitamise korraldus — ohvrid, mis katsid pattu ja tegid asjad inimeste ning Jumala vahel selgeks. — 2. Moosese 29: 36; 3. Moosese 16: 11, 15, 16; 17: 11.
