Numbers 28:3-8

3 Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the LORD: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day.

4 Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,

5 together with a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah^[a] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin^[b] of oil from pressed olives.

6 This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the LORD.

7 The accompanying drink offering is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink with each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the LORD at the sanctuary.

8 Offer the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you offer in the morning. This is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
