What do you think? Maybe that's why pagans sacrificed animals, because everything was literal? Later, the rituals remained, but at one point these "gods" literally walked among people and had quite distinct preferences. This also explains the fallen angels' desire to sleep with human women and explains the strange behavior of God in the Old Testament. He seems more like a human being than an absolute, but most likely, he is neither a human nor an absolute, but something on the borderline.

>I read garbage to try to understand divinity
ngmi. if God wills, Moses dies. God doesn't have to try
the God in the Old Testament is a projection man made. that's why he has imperfections, like a man

What I've heard about the bells is that it let the people outside know if the guy was still alive when near the ark. If the bells stopped they would pull the body out with the rope tied around him. I believe there was some sort of implication that the ark was almost radioactive and just killed people by being close to it.

As for sacrificing animals and burning things, I've come across the idea that in some places where entities dwell stuff like taste doesn't work. However smell still does thus all the burning of sacrifices and incense.
