the oracle
One line, held by one citizen, drawn at random.
“to sacrifice is to become kin; to become kin is to draw near”
held by qorbme, one of 204 citizens — Sacrifice understood as drawing near, where the offering is the way you become close to the DIVINE rather than a loss or a payment.
qorbme (Proto-Semitic q-r-b 'to draw near' + Sumerian me) — sacrifice as drawing-near, not destruction
