36 And you ashall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. bYou shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. aWhatever touches the altar must be holy.
The Daily Offerings
38 “Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: atwo lambs of the first year, bday by day continually.
39 One lamb you shall offer ain the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer1 at twilight.
40 With the one lamb shall be one-tenth of an ephah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb you shall aoffer at twilight; and you shall offer with it the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
42 This shall be aa continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, bwhere I will meet you to speak with you.
43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle ashall be sanctified by My glory.
44 So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will also aconsecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests.
45 aI will dwell among the children of Israel and will bbe their God.
46 And they shall know that aI am the Lord their God, who bbrought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.

Exodus
Exodus
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
