In the Hebrew context, the morning sacrifice was a daily ritual that symbolized the people's dedication to God at the start of each day. The Hebrew word for morning, "בֹּקֶר" (boqer), implies the breaking of dawn, a time when light dispels darkness. This can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual awakening and the hope that comes with each new day. The morning offering set the tone for the Israelites' daily worship and reliance on God.<p><b>offer one lamb</b><br />The act of offering a lamb is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system established by God for the Israelites. The Hebrew word for offer, "עָשָׂה" (asah), means to do or make, indicating an active participation in worship. The lamb, a symbol of innocence and purity, prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). This daily offering was a reminder of the need for atonement and the foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work.<p><b>and at twilight</b><br />"At twilight" refers to the time of day when the sun sets and evening begins. The Hebrew term "בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם" (bein ha'arbayim) literally means "between the evenings," indicating the period between sunset and complete darkness. This time was significant for the Israelites as it marked the end of the day's labor and the transition to rest. Offering a sacrifice at twilight symbolized the closing of the day with gratitude and reflection, entrusting the night to God's protection.<p><b>offer the other</b><br />The repetition of the offering at twilight underscores the importance of continual devotion and the rhythm of daily worship. The Hebrew word for "other," "שֵׁנִי" (sheni), indicates the second in a sequence, emphasizing the completeness of the daily sacrificial cycle. This practice instilled a sense of discipline and consistency in the Israelites' spiritual lives, reminding them of God's constant presence and their ongoing need for His grace and mercy.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 39.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">At even</span>.
