Hello, I am new and wanted to understand the culture of Judaism as I find it very fascinating. I was Read the Old Testament of the Bible and wondered why a lamb was needed to be used as a sacrifice.
Apart from the reason it was to liberate the Israelite who were under the oppression of Pharoah, I did some digging and saw certain laws explained that fact that animal” blood “Lambs/Goats” were used as a means for forgiving ones person’s sins. (I hope I am right)
Certain things I feel Are not clear in the Bible. I am a Christian by the way. I would like to know: when the Passover lambs are being prepared before Passover. They have to go thru inspection to be found spotless and unblemished to be used for Passover. (I read in few articles on the web) that the preparations for the Passover lamb was chosen 4 days prior to be sacrificed. According to the preparation, does the lamb’s feet and ankles get oiled (anoint) prior to Passover day? Lastly the head of the goat will be oiled (anoint) too to signify it has been checked as unblemished? Is there such a thing?
