Exodus 32:27

Question

My name is Caleb and I’m not Jewish. I just have a question.

In Exodus 32 verse 27, Moses tells the Levi’s to kill their brother, their companion, and his neighbor. My question is, wouldn’t that be a blood sacrifice and why did Moses tell them to murder innocent blood?

    Any one who was guilty of worshiping idols was sentenced to death. The verse is referring to all those who were guilty – Moses commands those who were untainted from any idol worship to execute those who were.
