And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
And you shall tell them, 'This is the fire offering you must present to the LORD: two perfect, one-year-old lambs every single day as an ongoing burnt offering.'
God is instructing Moses to tell the Israelites they must sacrifice two perfect young lambs every day as a continuous offering to Him.
📚 Historical Context
This command was given to Moses while the Israelites were in the wilderness, establishing the daily sacrificial system for when they would settle in the Promised Land. The 'continual burnt offering' was meant to be performed twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening - at the tabernacle and later the temple. These daily sacrifices represented the people's ongoing dedication and worship to God, maintained by the priests on behalf of the entire nation.
