For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the Lord. This is where I will meet you and speak to you. The daily burnt offering at the tent of meeting's entrance is a lasting ordinance — for the generations to come. And the purpose of the daily offering is also the promise of daily meeting: this is where I will meet you and speak to you. The daily sacrifice is not only an act of worship but the occasion for daily divine speech. The covenant God who spoke from the mercy seat also speaks at the entrance where the daily offerings are presented. The regular offering creates the regular meeting — the ritual creates the relationship.
