38 "Now this is what you shall offer on the altar : two one year old lambs each day , continuously . 39 "The one lamb you shall offer in the morning and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight ; 40 and there shall be one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of beaten oil , and one-fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering with one lamb . 41 "The other lamb you shall offer at twilight , and shall offer with it the same grain offering and the same drink offering as in the morning , for a soothing aroma , an offering by fire to the Lord . 42 "It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord , where e I will meet with you, to speak to you there .

Commentary on Exodus 29:38-46
(Read Exodus 29:38-46)
A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church. Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of our daily works, and the most pleasant of our daily comforts. Prayer-time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. Those starve their own souls, who keep not up constant attendance on the throne of grace; constancy in religion brings in the comfort of it.
