Exodus 29:38 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

In this paragraph we have, I. The daily service appointed. A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening, each with a meat-offering, both made by fire, as a continual burnt-offering throughout their generations, Exod. 29:38-41. Whether there were any other sacrifices to be offered or not, these were sure to be offered, at the public charge, for the benefit and comfort of all Israel, to make atonement for their daily sins, and to be an acknowledgement to God of... read more

An altar being ordered to be built, and this sanctified and expiated, and priests being appointed and consecrated to the service of it; an account is given of the offerings that should be offered up upon it every day, besides those that should be offered occasionally, and at other set times: two lambs of the first year day by day continually ; typical of Christ the Lamb of God, who continually, through the efficacy of his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:38

Verse 38 38.Now this is that which thou shalt offer. I have thought it well to give the first place among the sacrifices to that daily one which is called the continual sacrifice; for God would have two lambs offered to Him every morning and evening, that the people might perpetually exercise themselves in the recollection of the future reconciliation. But, although the sacrifices were constantly repeated under the Law, inasmuch as their offering had no efficacy in expiating sin, yet it must be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 29:38

The value of a daily service. Perpetual remembrance of God is one of the greatest needs for the maintenance and furtherance of religion. "Pray without ceasing."

These and numerous other texts lay down the perfect law—constant worship of the Almighty. But human weakness, and the pressing concerns of... read more

Exodus 29:38The continual burnt-offering - The primary purpose of the national altar is here set forth. The victim slain every morning and every evening was an acknowledgment that the life of the people belonged to Yahweh; the offering of meal was an acknowledgment that all their works rightly done were His due (see Leviticus 2:0); while the incense symbolized their daily prayers.Exodus 29:39At even - See Exodus 12:6.Exodus 29:40A tenth deal - i. e. the tenth part of an Ephah; it is sometimes... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 29:38

Exodus 29:38. Two lambs day by day continually This daily service, a lamb offered upon the altar every morning, and also every evening, typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make, in the virtue of his satisfaction, for the continual sanctification of his church: though he offered himself once for all, yet that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. And this teaches us to offer up to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

The daily offerings (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 (38-42; see Leviticus 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... read more
