From the Paper:

"The Old Testament is a book that describes a covenant broken by the first humans. As men were sinful, they had to be cleansed by ritual sacrifice. While the Israelites do not understand it at the time, these sacrifices achieve nothing in themselves--"You not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise" (Psalm 51:16-17, NIV)--but were representations of the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ which would retroactively act as the true repayment for their sins. Even ritual sacrifices left the Israelites with little actual contact with God, and only one tribe was deemed worthy to enter into the presence of God, and then only with exceedingly meticulous preparation."
