The Altar for Burnt Offering(A)

38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar continually: two one year old lambs each day. 39 “You are to offer one lamb in the morning and the other[a] at twilight, 40 and there is to be a tenth measure of choice flour mixed with one fourth of a hin[b] of oil extracted by hand,[c] and one fourth of a hin[d] of wine as a drink offering for one lamb. 41 You are to offer the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. You are to offer it as a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord. 42 It is to be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the doorway to the Tent of Meeting in the Lord’s presence, where I’ll meet with you to speak to you there. 43 I’ll meet there with the Israelis, and it is to be consecrated by my glory. 44 I’ll consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I’ll consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve as my priests. 45 I’ll live among the Israelis, and I’ll be their God. 46 They are to know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I may live among them. I am the Lord your God.”
