The whole Jesus part and the communion aspect is to shut the door on that kinda stuff at least in Christianity. The Bible’s covenants and rules started with the beginning of civilization and get you here. The guidelines given to Adam are related to the world in the time of Adam. The world evolved and so did the covenant with the Lord each time.
So we got the covanent with Adam, then Noah, then Abraham, Moses, then finally Jesus seals the deal.
Just like Abraham and Isaac are a treatise against human sacrifice, so is Jesus. Jesus also is a treatise against animal sacrifice and blood rituals outside of communion wine.
It seems really foreign for a religion to outlaw such things but they also were living in a world with some wild religious competition. Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, just to name a few. If I had to pick the rules and guidelines of any of them, Christianity would still be my pick.
Strange how different religions across the world, all of their gods require blood to forgive whatever they choose they want blood for.
