>From biblical through Second Temple through talmudic until modern times,
both Jews and Christians have tended to ignore, or interpret according to
their beliefs, the fact that both Amos (5:25) and Jeremiah (7:22-23)
categorically reject sacrifice as a Canaanite influence and something not
commanded by God. They both prefer observing his berit and observing the
moral code.
