Before the time of Christ the Jews had to offer animal sacrifices for their sins, according to God's law through Moses. However, this shedding of animal blood was only for teaching purposes.
Kabla ya wakati wa Kristo wayahudi iliwabidi kutoa dhabihu za wanyama kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, kufuata sheria ya Mungu kwa mkono wa Musa. Walakini, huku kumwaga damu ya mnyama ilikuwa kwa madhumuni ya kufundisha.
