The Israelites where given a covenant and made to be a people chosen by the Most High. Alone with this covenant were a list of laws, statutes and commandment that the Israelites were ordered to follow. Still to this day are they to keep these same laws. Also, pleased be advised that the Sacrificial Law is not to be practice seeing as we have the Ultimate Sacrifice already made: The Son of the Most High, YaHushua. He is a sacrifice already mediating on our behalf for our sins.
