The daily offerings

(Ex 29:38-46) As an expression of Israel’s constant devotion to God, an offering of consecration was kept burning on the altar continually.

The priests renewed the offering morning and evening, arranging the parts of the sacrificial animal on the altar in such a way as to ensure that the fire never went out (Ex 29:38-42; see Lev 6:8-13).

God reminded Moses that his purpose in giving Israel the tabernacle and the priesthood was that he might dwell among his people and that they might know and serve him (Ex 29:43-46).
