Judaism Quote by Laura VanArendonk Baugh
““Yes, the Jews go through a lot of sheep.” “What do you mean?” Gushnasaph asked. “They sacrifice two lambs each day in the Temple in Jerusalem, and then every household sacrifices lambs during their Pesach in the spring. Bet Lahem is good sheep country and close to the city, so the Temple flocks are kept here. This is where the sacrificial lambs are born.””
