Numbers 28:3-8

3 1And you shall say to them, This is the food offering that you shall offer to the LORD: two male lambs a year old without blemish, day by day, as a regular offering.
4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;
5 also 2a tenth of an ephah[a] of fine flour for 3a grain offering, mixed 4with a quarter of a hin[b] of beaten oil.
6 It is a 5regular burnt offering, which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
7 Its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the LORD.
8 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight. Like the grain offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, you shall offer it as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
