The Key Word — אֶחָד, 'e.Chadgenerated
The word אֶחָד ('echad) means 'one' and signifies unity or singularity. It is commonly used in the context of something unique or first, as seen in various biblical passages.
In this verse, it denotes the first lamb to be offered in the morning, establishing a clear directive for the sacrificial practice.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses one to translate אֶחָד. The KJV and ASV also use one, maintaining consistency in translation.
The Literal Standard Version and New English Translation opt for the first, which introduces a subtle distinction emphasizing the order of the offerings.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה (ta'aseh), meaning 'you will offer', governs the entire sentence. It is followed by two noun phrases indicating the lambs to be offered, along with prepositional phrases specifying the times of day.
The structure emphasizes the sequential nature of the offerings, with the morning lamb being mentioned first, followed by the evening lamb.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew כֶּבֶשׂ is rendered as ἀμνὸν (amnon), which means 'lamb'. This choice aligns with the sacrificial context and highlights the innocence associated with the offering.
The Greek word ἕνα (henan) translates אֶחָד, maintaining the emphasis on singularity, while also suggesting a specific order in the offerings.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Numbers 28:4 instructs that one lamb is to be offered in the morning and another in the evening. This establishes a daily practice of sacrifice, emphasizing the importance of regular offerings to God.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The two lambs represent continuous worship, one for the beginning of the day and one for its end.
It refers to the time frame between sunset and the onset of darkness, marking the evening sacrifice.

- What does it mean to dedicate the first part of my day to God?
- How can I incorporate regular times of worship into my daily routine?
- In what ways can I reflect on the significance of sacrifice in my life?

Lamb
(1.) Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Ex. 29:38-42), on the Sabbath day (Num. 28:9), at the feast of the New Moon (28:11), of Trumpets (29:2), of Tabernacles (13-40), of Pentecost (Lev. 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Ex. 12:5), and on many other occasions (1 Chr. 29:21; 2 Chr. 29:21; Lev. 9:3; 14:10-25).
The young of the sheep, and also the kid of the goat, Ex 12:5, Christ is the Lamb of God, Joh 1:29, as being the accepted sacrifice for human sin. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were an ordained and perpetual foreshadowing not only of his spotless holiness and his unresisting meekness, Isa 53:4-9. He is described in Re 5:6 12:11, as wearing the form of a sacrificial lamb in heaven itself. See PASSOVER and SACRIFICES.
