Cruelty in Hebrews
- God will not forgive us unless we shed the blood of some innocent creature. 9:13-14, 22
- Those who disobeyed the Old Testament law were killed without mercy. It will be much worse for those who displease
Jesus. 10:28-29
- The Israelites kept the passover and sprinkled blood on doorposts so that God wouldn't kill their firstborn children (like he did the Egyptians
in Exodus 12:29).
11:28
- God ordered animals to be "stoned, or thrust through with a dart" if they "so much as ... touch the mountain."
12:20
