>the blood god
'This need for the blood of the worship service to be poured both at the base of the altar as well as upon the soil of the earth was accomplished by the work of an ingenious system of pits under the altar in the Temple courtyard. The pit drainage system is referred to in the Hebrew writings as SHITHIN (“sheetheen”). It is almost universally pronounced as SHISSIN “sheeseen” in the plural by Judaism, and as SHITH as the singular.'
'we read in Pesachim 65b that the drain holes at the base of the altar that normally kept the blood of the sacrifices from pooling were deliberately plugged during the holy day of Passover! This odd deed caused an already gory situation to become an almost unimaginably macabre scenario. The blood was not dealt with immediately by descending into the SHISSIN. It stayed in the courtyard, and with each successive slaughter of the lamb on Passover, the blood on the floor increased, until it was a vast pool covering the entire floor around the altar! The priests, unable to wear shoes while ministering, therefore walked barefoot in the blood of the Passover lambs.'
