The way I see that specific verse (9) in Psalm 49, it is referring to "Those who rely on their possessions and boast of their great wealth".
As for Leviticus 17:11, it's really about the whole chapter.
It is talking about what an abomination it is to eat the blood of the offering and all who eat it will be cut off. The chapter doesn't seem to speak of one type of offering, it lists many including the peace offering.
So let me ask you another question.
There were 70 years between the 1st and 2nd Temple.
If blood is the only way to have remission of sin, then what did all who lived during that period do?
Does the Hebrew bible tell us anywhere?
