Korban

Korban (קרבן) (plural: Korbanot קרבנות) in Judaism, is commonly called a religious sacrifice or an "offering" in English, but is known as a Korban in Hebrew because its Hebrew root K R V (קרב) (or K R V) means to " Close (or Draw Near) ", which the English words "sacrifice" or "offering" do not fully convey. There were many different types of korbanot. A Korban was usually an animal such as a sheep or a bull that was ritually slaughtered and then burned on an altar, which the Hebrew Bible commanded the ancient Children of Israel to be offered up on the various altars in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem during the History of ancient Israel and Judah.
