Daily Sacrifices

(Leviticus 6.8-13; Numbers 28.1-8)

The Lord said:

38 Each day you must sacrifice two lambs a year old, 39 one in the morning and one in the evening. 40-41 With each lamb offer one kilogram of your finest flour mixed with a liter of pure olive oil, and also pour out a liter of wine as an offering. The smell of this sacrifice on the fires of the altar will be pleasing to me. 42-43 You and your descendants must always offer this sacrifice on the altar at the entrance to the sacred tent.

People of Israel, I will meet and speak with you there, and my shining glory will make the place holy.

38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day:(A) two lambs a year old. 39 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.(B) 40 With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of oil(C) from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.(D) 41 Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight(E) with the same grain offering(F) and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.

42 “For the generations to come(G) this burnt offering is to be made regularly(H) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(I) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;(J) 43 there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.(K)
