The sacrificial offerings were established by infinite wisdom to impress upon the fallen race the solemn truth that it was sin which caused death. Every time the life of a sacrificial offering was taken, they were reminded that if there had been no sin, there would have been no death. "The wages of sin is death."

Offersystemet blev oprettet for af en uendelig klogskab, for at indprente den faldne slægt om den højtidelige sandhed, at det er synden som var årsag til døden. Hvert tidspunkt i offer livet, blev de mindet om at, hvis der ikke har været synd, ville der ikke være død."
