The term evil imaginations is used several times throughout the Bible in relationship to blood sacrifice. After Jeremiah reproved the Children of Israel for sacrificing after they were brought out of Egypt, he put it beautifully when he wrote…But let him that glory, glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, which exercises loving kindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
