Yep...that was back in the days before Christ, when all sins had to be reconcilled by the people who committed them. Some sins might be forgiven with just the sacrifice of a dove, or the best barnyard animal...but the more serious ones...well, there you go.

I should just add that the sacrifice needed to be accompanied by a sincere repentance. The dove (I think the dove was the only animal used for repentance sacrifices, the cows and sheep were for other things) was merely a way of proving through actions your devotion to God. And maybe God just likes roast dove, I don't know.
