Best Answer

The main form of sacrifice made by the ancient Jews was in the form of an animal sacrifice. Depending on the reason for the sacrifice and the means of the supplicants, it could vary from a bullock to a pair of sparrows.

There are quite a few references in the Old Testament that indicate that the Hebrew people also performed human sacrifices at least until late in the Judahite monarchy. To the ancients, sacrificing one's eldest son was considered the noblest sacrifice.
