More explanation about New Covenant Literal Application
The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.
It combines person categories such as Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, and Gentile, together with male/female distinctions and an application level such as mandated, recommended, optional, or prohibited.
This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. On this page, the technical code is summarized into plain language to help new readers understand it more easily.
Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary
Rabbi Michael Rudolph
The need for us to offer a blood sacrifice to atone for our sins is a requirement established by God. Under the Mosaic Covenant, the sacrifice was of animals brought to the Tabernacle, and later the Temple, and was assisted by Levitical Priests. In addition to daily sacrifices for the sins of individuals, there was an annual sacrifice of two goats to atone for the sins of the Nation; both kinds of sacrifices had to be repeated day after day and year after year. We read in Jeremiah 31:30(31)-33(34) and Hebrews 8:6-12 that Israel violated God’s covenant and, instead of punishing Israel, God promised them a new and better covenant based on better promises. We now know that the better promises are that we no longer have to sacrifice animals each time we commit sin. Instead, God sent his Son Yeshua to earth as a man to be a once-and-for-all- time sacrifice, so that whosoever of us receive him as our Messiah and repent of our sins are forgiven. We still have to repent each time we sin, but we do not have to repeatedly sacrifice so long as we remain in a faith relationship with Yeshua.
