God forgave His people’s sins through confession and a sacrificial system in the Old Testament. They used to slaughter an animal and remorsefully ask the Lord for forgiveness, and then they believed to be free. Intentional sins were not covered in the sacrifice as stated in Numbers 15:22-31, and I think this was when they approached the priests, and through them, they offered a specified gift.
It is usually assumed that the Old Testament sacrificial system was designed as a way to procure the forgiveness of sins. However, most of the types of sacrifices had nothing to do with forgiveness of sins; and intentional sins don’t seem to be covered by any of the sacrifices (e.g., Numbers 15:22-31). In light of passages such as Psalm 51:1-19, Isa. 1:11-18, Isa. 55:5-6, Amos 5:21-24, Hosea 6:1-6, Joel 2:12-14, and Micah 6:6-8, how do you think Old Testament sinners found forgiveness and reconciliation with God?
