It's definitely a sacrifice...at least as far as the animal is concerned... ...regardless of what ritual, if any, is followed in that animal's departure from this realm. A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road. The Chicken says: "Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!" Pig replies: "Hm, maybe, what would we call it?" The Chicken responds: "How about 'ham-n-eggs'?" The Pig thinks for a moment and says: "No thanks. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved."

I would want a holy barbecue.

The 10 commandments were given to Moses who lived (assuming ) centuries after Abraham , so was there a specific list that Abraham followed? Not to commit murder was a given , even with Adam. Not to worship idols for sure . What else? Straining at a gnat , might I suggest that the commandment not to commit adultery implies a need for polygamy ? According to the rabbis, before the time of Moses, all men were required to follow the Seven Noahide laws, Do not deny God. Do not blaspheme God. Do not murder. Do not engage in illicit sexual relations. Do not steal. Do not eat from a live animal. Establish courts/legal system to ensure obedience to said laws. 1
