Daily Offerings(A)

28 The Lord told Moses, “You are to command the Israelis about my offerings that they are to be sure to bring edible offerings to me, presented by fire, and a pleasing aroma to me, at their appointed time. Tell them that this is the offering, presented by fire, that you are to offer to the Lord: two one year old lambs, offered daily every day. Offer the first lamb in the morning and the second toward the evening,[a] accompanied by one tenth of an ephah[b] of fine flour for grain offering, mixed with one fourth of a hin[c] of pure olive oil. This burnt offering, which was prescribed at Mount Sinai, is to be offered every day[d] as a pleasing aroma made by fire to the Lord.

“The drink offering is to be one fourth of a hin[e] for each[f] lamb. You are to pour out a drink offering of strong wine to the Lord in the Holy Place. You are also to offer the second lamb toward the evening. Just like the morning sacrifice,[g] you are to present the grain offering, accompanied by its corresponding drink offering, as a presentation made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.”
