38 "This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old.
38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
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 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
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.
