Daily Offerings

28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the Israelites, and say to them: My offering, the food for my offerings by fire,[a] my pleasing odor, you shall take care to offer to me at its appointed time.(A) And you shall say to them: This is the offering by fire[b] that you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs a year old without blemish, daily, as a regular offering.(B) One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;[c] also one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour for a grain offering, mixed with one-fourth of a hin of beaten oil. It is a regular burnt offering, ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire[d] to the Lord. Its drink offering shall be one-fourth of a hin for each lamb; in the sanctuary you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the Lord.(C) The other lamb you shall offer at twilight[e] with a grain offering and a drink offering like the one in the morning; you shall offer it as an offering by fire,[f] a pleasing odor to the Lord.
