Lamb

The daily lamb offering was a central sacrificial practice in Israel's worship, offered every morning and evening as a perpetual memorial of God's covenant. This sacrifice foreshadowed Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Overview

God commanded Israel to offer two lambs daily at the tabernacle—one in the morning and one in the evening—as a continual burnt offering. Each lamb was accompanied by grain and drink offerings, creating a complete expression of worship and atonement. This daily rhythm kept Israel mindful of their dependence on God and their need for redemption.

Key Scriptures

"Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight." (Exodus 29:38-39, ESV)

"With the one lamb a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering." (Exodus 29:40, ESV)

Application

Reflect daily on Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, recognizing that His offering completed what the Old Testament lambs foreshadowed.
