A type is a picture or symbol that represent something/someone else.

In the Old Testament there are many types of Jesus.

When Abraham was going to kill his son God provided a ram for Abraham as a substitute for his son Isaac:

Gen 22:13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

This ram is a type of Jesus - provided by God, a substitute for us (Isaac), a sacrifice for sin.

Noah's ark is also a type of Jesus. In the ark Noah and his family were saved from judgment. Those who are in Christ will be saved from judgment.

There are many others in the OT.
