What is the Torah’s true attitude toward blood?

On the one hand, the blood of the korbanot in the Beit Hamikdash is sprinkled upon the altar and brings atonement. On the other hand, the blood of animals and birds schechted outside the Beit Hamikdash must be covered.

And what about the blood of Abel that cries out? The blood of the brit? “Do not stand idly by your neighbor’s blood”?

All this and more in the next episode.
