Animal Sacrifice

There were various sorts of sacrifice: grain offerings, wine offerings and animal sacrifices. Animal sacrifices are most extensively described in the laws of the Old Testament.
 An animal sacrifice was an expensive gift, partly because animals (that served as food) had to be killed.
