Hi,
A great question and I agree, no one should be taking it literally!!!
Some parts of the bible are really difficult to get a fix on but it is my belief that the "law" in the Hebrew scriptures was something that God created to show what the measure of rightness is. He is a righteous and just God and requires righteousness. We cannot produce that on our own and He created the sacrifices in the Hebrew scriptures to paint a picture of that reality as well.
He then condescended to mankind and became a true sacrifice for us to bring us to true rightness.
God hates SIN, but loves US!
