Reply To: Isn't mesiras nefesh and tzelem elokim a stira

zogt: But Hashem did feed the hungry, create life, cloth the naked, visit the sick, bury the dead- these are things Hashem actually did which we must emulate. Hashem was never mesiras nefesh though. The physical manifestation I suppose of mesiras nefesh would be to offer a korban. Perhaps “vehaaretz nasan leh’benei adam” is most similar to this.
