Context — The Daily Offerings
37For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.
38This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar, each day: two lambs that are a year old.
39Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight.
40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine. 41And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.Cross References

Exodus 29:39 Summary
This verse, Exodus 29:39, tells us that the Israelites were to offer one lamb in the morning and one at twilight, which reminds us to start and end each day with worship and thanksgiving. Just like the Israelites, we can prioritize our relationship with God by making time for Him every day, as seen in Psalm 5:3. By doing so, we can experience God's presence and love, and be a reminder of His love to those around us, just like the morning and evening sacrifices. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves how we can apply this principle in our own lives, and what it means to 'begin and end each day with worship and thanksgiving'.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why were the Israelites required to offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight?
The morning and evening sacrifices were a reminder of God's constant presence and provision, as seen in Exodus 29:39, and were a way to begin and end each day with worship and thanksgiving, similar to the practice of prayer in Psalm 55:17.
What is the significance of the two lambs being a year old?
The requirement for the lambs to be a year old, as stated in Exodus 29:38, signifies their strength and maturity, representing the perfect sacrifice that Jesus Christ would later offer, as described in Hebrews 10:14.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of atonement in the Bible?
The sacrifices described in Exodus 29:39 are part of the larger narrative of atonement, which ultimately points to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, as seen in Romans 3:25, where God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement.
What can we learn from the Israelites' daily sacrifice about our own relationship with God?
The daily sacrifices remind us of the importance of regular worship and communion with God, as encouraged in Luke 18:1, and the need to continually seek forgiveness and cleansing, as seen in 1 John 1:9.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean to 'begin and end each day with worship and thanksgiving' in my own life, and how can I apply this principle in a practical way?
- How can I, like the Israelites, make sacrifices in my own life as an act of worship and devotion to God, as seen in Romans 12:1?
- In what ways can I, like the morning and evening sacrifices, be a reminder of God's presence and love to those around me, as described in Matthew 5:16?
- What are some ways I can prioritize my relationship with God, just as the Israelites prioritized their daily sacrifices, and what are the benefits of doing so, as seen in Psalm 119:2?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 29:39
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning,.... And before this no other sacrifice was to be offered, and therefore it was slain and offered very early; and yet it was not lawful to slay it before
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 29:39
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: Thou shalt offer at even , [ beeyn (H996) haa`arbaayim (H6153)] - between the evenings (cf.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 29:39
Which two seasons were selected as most commodious, that men might both begin and end their worldly actions said businesses with God, and might see their need of God’ s assistance and blessing in all their concerns, and the justness of giving him the praise and glory of all.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 29:39
Exodus 29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:Ver. 39. Thou shalt offer in the morning.] These two lambs were types of the Lamb of God, taking away the sins of the world, with a commemoration of whose benefits the day was begun and ended. Wherefore, also, from David’ s days and forwards, they sang the 22nd Psalm at the morning sacrifice, and the 136th Psalm at the evening.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:39
THE LAW OF THE DAILY , AND THE PROMISE OF GOD’S .(38-42) The consecration of the altar, which took place during the consecration of the priests, was to be followed immediately by the establishment of the daily sacrifice. Two lambs were to be offered every day, one in the morning, the other “between the evenings” (Exodus 29:39); partly in expiation of the daily sins of the nation, but mainly as a sign that the nation daily renewed its self-dedication to Jehovah, and offered itself afresh to be “a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice” to Him. Meat and drink offerings were to accompany the burnt sacrifice—signs of the gratitude due to God for His perpetual mercies, and acknowledgments of His protecting care and lovingkindness. At the same time incense was to be burnt upon the golden altar before the vail, as a figure of the perpetual prayer that it behoved the nation to send up to the Throne of Grace for a continuance of the Divine favour. (See Exodus 30:7-8.) (38) Two lambs of the first year.—See Note on Exodus 12:5. The LXX. insert ἀ ?ìώ ?ìïõò, “without blemish;” but this general requirement (Leviticus 22:22; Leviticus 22:24-25), relaxed only in the case of free-will offerings (Leviticus 22:23), does not need to be perpetually repeated. (39) At even.—Heb., between the two evenings. (On the meaning of the phrase, see Note 2 on Exodus 12:6.) (40) A tenth deal.—Heb., a tenth. A tenth of what measure is not said, but we may presume an ephah to be intended. The tenth part of an ephah was an omer (Exodus 16:36).
The omer is reckoned at rather less than half a gallon. An hin.—The hin was, like the omer and the ephah, an Egyptian measure. It is estimated at about three-quarters of a gallon. Beaten oil.—See Note 1 on Exodus 27:20. (41) The meat offering . . . the drink offering.—A “handful” of each meat offering was thrown upon the altar and burnt (Leviticus 2:2); the remainder belonged to the priests (Leviticus 2:3). Scripture says nothing of the disposal of the drink offering. According to Josephus (Ant. Jud. iii. 9, § 4), it was poured out in libation upon the altar. According to others, a portion only was thus disposed of, while the rest was the priests’. The latter view seems the more probable.
(42) The tabernacle of the congregation.—Rather, the tent of meeting.Where I will meet you.—This passage determines the meaning of the expression, “tent of meeting.” It was not the place where the congregation met together, for the congregation were forbidden to enter it, but the place where God met His people through their mediator and representative, the high priest, who could there commune with God and obtain replies from Him on all practical matters that were of national importance.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 29:39
Verse 39. One lamb thou shalt offer in the morning] These two lambs, one in the morning, and the other in the evening, were generally termed the morning and evening daily sacrifices, and were offered from the time of their settlement in the promised land to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. The use of these sacrifices according to the Jews was this: "The morning sacrifice made atonement for the sins committed in the night, and the evening sacrifice expiated the sins committed during the day."
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 29:39
39. between the two evenings] see on Exodus 12:6.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 29:39
39. Morning… even — As regularly as the sun was wont to rise and set, so regularly were these sacrifices to be offered unto the Lord.
