From what I remember it was an entension of the Jewish custom of animal sacrifice. They would put the sins onto the animal and kill it and I want to believe some wilderness dwelling entity consumed the sins. Kind of like the sin eaters of British legend.
But yeah. Seems like being God he is limited in what he is able to do. Maybe cause he was trying to undo his own work and being something God did that is impossible so he had to find a loophole since everything he does is permanent.
