Does God Require Ritual Blood Sacrifice?

The elder brother in the prodigal son parable is convinced that justice has not been satisfied. He won't come to the party because what because the father just forgave, there is no payment. The squandered inheritance is squandered. It's gone. And there's nothing that's going to bring it back. But then you reach Hosea, who speaks boldly in the name of the Lord, the name of Yahweh, he says, I desire mercy and not sacrifice. That's what Jesus quotes twice.
