I think you are taking the verse out of context, to try and make an unfair accusation and emotional argument.
Foreshadows according to?
It seems you're taking the verse out of context because you're forcing a relationship between the OT and what is later taught in the NT.
Ok, wait. Sure, we know about the requirements that an animal, that was to be slaughtered to appease GAWD had to be absolutely f*ckn perfect. Yeah, yeah, yadda yadda. A goat or a sheep that had a weird coloration or a funny-shaped ear wouldn't do for a gawd who demanded BLOOD from a creature who had no conscious awareness of self - and this was to atone for the sins of a human being. RIIGHT. Does this make ANY sense to a modern human that hasn't been brainwashed into the point of . . . _______ someone fill in the blank for me, because I just drew one.
And don't give me that crap about how all of the poor animals were just a precursor to the wonderful GOD who was going to take their place. Bullshit. AND, why did gawd wait? Why were there precursors in the first place? Why did all of these innocents have to die before the REAL DUDE showed up? UNLESS . . . (gasp!!!) . . . all of that "blood appeasing the gods" crap was bullshit in the first place?
Perfect priest, perfect sacrifice, perfect judgmentalism, perfect xenophobia, perfect tribal rules, perfect moronic CRAP. Refusing one of your own because they were born DIFFERENT. When will human kind learn to accept the disabled as equal human beings?
