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.
