To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is, I think, a very significant fact that no mention is made of sin-offerings before the giving of the Mosaic law. In the previous sacrifices, the idea of expiation, if recognised at all, was vague and indistinct. The slaying of an animal and the burning of it on an altar was a common mode of worship from the very earliest times ; but there is not a solitary hint, so far as I know, before the establishment of the Levitical system, that the sacrifice had any atoning power, real or symbolic. A...part from an express Divine revelation, — ^and no such revelation is recorded as having been given in patriarchal times, — I do not see how the death of a lamb or a bullock could have been regarded as possessing expiatory significance or value, although it was a very natural form of confessing that the worshipper deserved the death he had inflicted, and of depre- cating the Divine displeasure. That sacrifices were offered as soon as man was driven out of Eden, that they were offered in connection with sin, is no proof that they were regarded as expiatory, but only that the worship- per confessed his own guilt or the guilt of others and implored God's mercy, by a rite which he knew that God approved.
