After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
In this same way, you should offer daily throughout the seven days the food of the sacrifice made by fire, which creates a sweet-smelling aroma for the LORD. This should be offered along with the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.
God is instructing the Israelites to offer special daily sacrifices for seven days that create a pleasing aroma to Him, in addition to their regular offerings.
📚 Historical Context
This instruction comes during Israel's time in the wilderness, as God was establishing the detailed worship practices for the nation through Moses. The 'seven days' refers to festival periods like Passover or the Feast of Weeks, when special additional sacrifices were required beyond the daily temple offerings. The 'meat offering' was actually a grain offering, and the 'sweet savour' represented sacrifices that were acceptable and pleasing to God.
