And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
And you shall offer the other lamb in the evening, doing with it the same as the grain offering of the morning and the same drink offering that goes with it, as a sweet-smelling sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.
God is instructing that the second daily lamb sacrifice should be offered in the evening with the same grain and drink offerings as the morning sacrifice, creating a pleasing aroma to Him.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God was providing detailed instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai for the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests, as part of establishing the Tabernacle as the center of Israelite worship. This verse describes the evening lamb sacrifice, which was to mirror the morning offering, including the meat and drink offerings, to maintain a continual reminder of God's presence and covenant with the Israelites during their wilderness journey. These daily rituals symbolized atonement and devotion, emphasizing the holiness required in approaching God.
