13. Human Sacrifice in Bible Non-Violence in Vedas

1. HUMAN SACRIFICE IN BIBLE

(i) Human beings etc. once offered for sacrifice, will surely be killed

Biblical God gives clear-cut law governing human sacrifice in the Holy Bible saying whatever is offered to God, whether it is human being or animal or field, cannot be sold, reclaimed or recovered, it belongs to God.  If an offering of a human being is made to God, the man, who is offered to God for sacrifice, cannot be reclaimed and recovered, i.e. he cannot be redeemed and rescued. He shall surely be sacrificed at the altar.  In other words, he shall surely be killed as an offering to God.  Read the following two verses :

145. �28. Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed, every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.�

- Leviticus, 27/28
