The morning sacrifice was a burnt offering, symbolizing the people's dedication and consecration to God at the start of each day. The offering of a lamb is significant, as lambs were considered pure and without blemish, representing innocence and the need for atonement. This practice foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the "Lamb of God" in <a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>, highlighting His role in taking away the sins of the world. The morning sacrifice set the tone for the day, reminding the Israelites of their dependence on God and His provision.<p><b>and the other at twilight</b><br>The evening sacrifice, offered at twilight, served as a bookend to the day's activities, symbolizing the people's continued reliance on God and their need for His presence throughout the night. This practice ensured that the Israelites were in a constant state of worship and reflection, acknowledging God's sovereignty over their lives. The timing of the evening sacrifice, at twilight, is significant as it marks the transition from day to night, a time of vulnerability and uncertainty. This offering can be seen as a precursor to the New Testament concept of Jesus as the light of the world (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>), providing guidance and protection in times of darkness. The dual sacrifices, morning and evening, emphasize the importance of continual devotion and the need for regular communion with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the laws and instructions from God, including the sacrificial system outlined in Numbers.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given specific instructions on how to worship and offer sacrifices.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites, where sacrifices were made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrificial_lamb.htm">Sacrificial Lamb</a></b><br>Represents the daily offerings made to God, symbolizing atonement and dedication.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/twilight.htm">Twilight</a></b><br>The time of day when the second lamb was to be offered, marking the end of the day and symbolizing continual devotion.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/consistency_in_worship.htm">Consistency in Worship</a></b><br>The daily offering of lambs signifies the importance of regular and consistent worship in the life of a believer.
