Andrew examines the method of atonement in forgiveness, amends, and sacrifice.
Hosea 6:6, 9 (NRSV)
6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
9 As robbers lie in wait for someone,
so the priests are banded together;
they murder on the road to Shechem,
they commit a monstrous crime.
