38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
38 "This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old.
38 "Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day regularly.
38 "This is what you are to offer on the Altar: two year-old lambs each and every day,
38 "Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
38 "These are the sacrifices you are to offer regularly on the altar. Each day, offer two lambs that are a year old,
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
39 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.
39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
39 one lamb in the morning and the second lamb at evening.
39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
39 one in the morning and the other in the evening.
(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.
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
9 "Give Aaron and his sons this command: 'These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
9 "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
9 "Command Aaron and his sons. Tell them, These are the instructions for the Whole-Burnt-Offering. Leave the Whole-Burnt-Offering on the Altar hearth through the night until morning, with the fire kept burning on the Altar.
9 "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
9 "Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the burnt offering. The burnt offering must be left on top of the altar until the next morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning all night.
(Read Leviticus 6:8-13)
The daily sacrifice of a lamb is chiefly referred to. The priest must take care of the fire upon the altar. The first fire upon the altar came from heaven, 24; by keeping that up continually, all their sacrifices might be said to be consumed with the fire from heaven, in token of God's acceptance. Thus should the fire of our holy affections, the exercise of our faith and love, of prayer and praise, be without ceasing.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
11 Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
11 Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
11 Then change clothes and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
11 Then he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
11 Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
