And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
You need to prepare a grain offering every single morning, about 3 quarts of flour mixed with a quart and a third of oil. This isn't a one-time thing; it's an ongoing commitment to the LORD that never stops.
Some things with God aren't seasonal, they're daily, consistent, and forever.
