The wages of sin is death. During the old Testament days, forgiveness of sin required a blood sacrifice. The Jewish would have to sacrifice their most pristine sheep, goat etc.
God sent us Jesus Christ, the most pristine human that has ever lived. He was not blemished by sin. He sacrificed himself for us. His blood covers all of our sin as long as we repent of our sins and accept him as our Lord and Savior.
The Old Testament is as factual as the new Testament. You can refuse to accept it, God has given you freewill. But your unbelief doesn't change the nature of God. Don't measure God by man's standards. He is a righteous and just God. We have all earned death and death is what we will all receive unless we accept the gift God has given us and that again, is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There are no works that you and I can do to save ourselves.
