The Daily Offerings

(Exodus 29:38-44)

¹ Then the LORD said to Moses,² “Command the Israelites and say to them: See that you present to Me at its appointed time the food for My offerings by fire, as a pleasing aroma to Me.³ And tell them that this is the offering by fire you are to present to the LORD: two unblemished year-old male lambs, as a regular burnt offering each day.⁴ You are to offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,⁵ along with a tenth of an ephah^(a) of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with a quarter hin^(a) of olive oil from pressed olives.⁶ This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.⁷ And the drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area.⁸ You are to offer the second lamb at twilight, with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

The Sabbath Offerings

⁹ On the Sabbath day, present two unblemished year-old male lambs, accompanied by a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah^(a) of fine flour mixed with oil, as well as a drink offering.¹⁰ This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.
