When the nation of Israel was formed, Jehovah gave explicit instructions about the way he wanted the Israelites to worship him, and this included offerings and sacrifices.
Siis kui moodustati Iisraeli rahvas, andis Jehoova üksikasjalikud juhised, kuidas teda tuleks teenida, ning nende juhiste hulgas olid ka nõuded ohvrite toomise kohta.
