Why are human sacrifices so important?
A:Human sacrifices are the most valuable sacrifices one can make to the gods. Sacrificing captives, as the Aztecs did, does tend to counter this since captives are held in lower esteem than one's own people but the Aztecs made up for this by the great number of sacrifices. Most Old World gods who were thought to respond to human sacrifices, controversially even including the Hebrew God in early pre-Exilic times, demanded the sacrifice of one's own child. 2 Kings 16:3 and 2 Kings 21:6 are two examples of human sacrifices in the Bible, performed by King Ahaz (8th century BCE) and King Manasseh (7th century BCE), although they were far from unusual in early monarchic times.Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in the ancient world, circumcision was probably a symbolic act of human sacrifice.
