However this is not correct; a more accurate representation would be the term do et das, which translates to “I give to you and I hope that, being a kind and well-disposed being towards me, you will grant me what I want.” It's more like when you wash the dishes and vacuum the whole house so your mom lets you go out on the weekend: you have to realize that your mom (like God) has superiority over you, so your relationship isn't equal. Do et das conveys that sacrifice connects the path between humans and god, but also recognizes the unequal relationship between the two, thus wanting to establish good relationships between humans and humans.
