This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old. The daily offering — two lambs, one in the morning and one at evening — is the regular worship that sustains the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The daily rhythm of morning and evening sacrifice mirrors the daily rhythm of the manna and the lampstand's light: every day has its sacrifice, every evening its offering. Numbers 28:3–8 specifies the daily burnt offering in detail. The regularity of the daily offering is the regularity of the covenant relationship: not seasonal, not occasional, but constant — two lambs every day, morning and evening, as long as the tabernacle stands.
