38 'And this 'is' that which thou dost prepare on the altar; two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually; 39 the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; 40 and a tenth 'deal' of fine flour, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin, and a libation, a fourth part of a hin, of wine, 'is' for the one lamb. 41 'And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its libation, thou dost prepare for it, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering, to Jehovah:— 42 a continual burnt-offering for your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah, whither I am met with you, to speak unto thee there, 43 and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath been sanctified by My honour. 44 'And I have sanctified the tent of meeting, and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to Me, 45 and I have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God, 46 and they have known that I 'am' Jehovah their God, who hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may tabernacle in their midst; I 'am' Jehovah their God.

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.
