Ep 20: Why Did Jesus Die? (Pt 2) // Levitical Sacrifices

Jesus' death is often referred to as a sacrifice. But what is a sacrifice even for? Do all sacrifices achieve the same thing? In this episode #20 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we begin a discussion of the sacrifices used in Ancient Israel, particularly the sacrifices prescribed in Leviticus. The sacrificial system of Ancient Israel is the foundation for understanding the death of Jesus as a sacrifice.
