Blue Bird,
Not sure why you made that Paul comment, let's try to keep the conversation going in the right direction.
Yes, blood and certain types of offerings can atone for certain sins.
Numbers 31-50 says -
"We therefore wish to bring an offering for the Lord. Any man who found a gold article, be it an anklet, a bracelet, a ring, an earring, or a body ornament, to atone for our souls before the Lord."
And Exodus 30:15 says -
"The rich shall give no more, and the poor shall give no less than half a shekel, with which to give the offering to the Lord, to atone for your souls."
So it looks like there are other ways to atone for our souls, not just Leviticus 17:11.
And if I'm not mistaken, Hebrew 9:22 doesn't mention "atonement for our souls", it refers to remission of sin.
I could list many verses, from Jonah, Jeremiah, II Chronicles, I Kings, Daniel and Hosea to name a few, that show forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood.
