According to Moses, God told the people to use the bull's blood in a special way to make the altar clean and ready for worship. This was part of how they said sorry to God and promised to follow Him.

Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11

God questions the value of multiplied sacrifices and burnt offerings, which contradicts the importance given to sacrificial rituals like in Exodus 29:12.

Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]

Paradox #1

Exodus 29:12 involves specific sacrificial rituals, including using blood as part of a religious ceremony. Some people might see a contradiction or conflict in this practice, as the act of animal sacrifice could be viewed as inconsistent with a compassionate or non-violent value system that respects all forms of life. This can raise questions about the morality of taking a life for religious purposes.
