He also provided Yom Kippur, and redemption money, and the results of prayer and supplication

Dear Liz

Forgiveness of sins is what we all need, and God provided the sacrificial
cultus to effect this for his faithful people. He formed them for Himself;
they were to show forth his praise (verse 21). But instead, they had made a
sort of "sin now, pay later" tariff out of the sacrificial system. It was
not intended to be misused in this fashion. Isaiah castigates the people back
in chapter 1:10-15 for this very thing. Their worship is just a "trampling of
My courts".
