TSK · 2 Samuel 21:3

The next day Moses said to the people,“You have committed a very serious sin, but now I will go up to the LORD– perhaps I can make atonement on behalf of your sin.”

If a man sins against a man, one may appeal to God on his behalf. But if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him then?” But Eli’s sons would not listen to their father. Indeed the LORD had decided to kill them.

I represent the peaceful and the faithful in Israel. You are attempting to destroy an important city in Israel. Why should you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”

With what should I enter the LORD’s presence? With what should I bow before the sovereign God? Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
