Also, burning the incense mixture could be considered a type of sacrifice.<br />I should point out that the word "sacrifice" is a very bad translation. The Hebrew word "korban" means "drawing close." It means an offering which brings us closer to God. With no Temple, that usually means prayer.<br />That said, the Torah is very clear that we are meant to care for the animals and use them for our own needs, including rituals which help mend our relationship with God. <br />The frailty of animal life is sometimes a very good reminder that our own lives are ephemeral and only meaningful if they are dedicated to a holy purpose.<br />Hope this helps answer your questions!Tziviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828930310967808828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21153604.post-18283206197506156412010-04-23T08:21:09.066-04:002010-04-23T08:21:09.066-04:00just a question really. or maybe more like a curi...just a question really. or maybe more like a curiosity. no disrespect whatsoever, it's just that i've always wondered this thought and now you have a blog about it so i thought i would ask. hope that is ok.<br />in the Bible, there are many stories where the wonderful prophets/sages conducted sacrifices for G-D, and they all involved animals [lamb or calf]. so something made these biblical people think that G-D wanted the animals to be killed. i was curious as to how a vegan lifestyle can coincide with what the Old Testament says. nobody ever sacrificed a carrot stick or a celery stalk.<br />and for the record, i have dipped my big toe into the vegetarian lifetstyle thru-out my life.<br /><br />thanks if you have an answer.<br />thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937877553485907015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21153604.post-19337232559750040682010-04-22T19:46:17.820-04:002010-04-22T19:46:17.820-04:00we ate vegan tonight, too.
