Hi Paul,
I have a question about the sacrifice Phinehas made for Israel to atone for their sin regarding Moab. It was a human sacrifice, can it be considered that? I hear people on Facebook argue and say that our Creator does not accept human sacrifice as atonement for sin, but this seems to be an example.
Shalom Teresa, No it was not a human sacrifice, it was his act of stoping a plague that was so special.
