40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.
41And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
42For the generations to come, this burnt offering shall be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak with you. 43I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by My glory.Cross References

Exodus 29:41 Summary
In Exodus 29:41, God instructs the Israelites to offer a second lamb at twilight, along with the same grain and drink offerings as in the morning, to create a pleasing aroma for Him. This daily rhythm of worship and sacrifice, as seen in Exodus 29:39-40, reminds us that our relationship with God is not just a morning or an evening thing, but an all-day, every-day thing (as seen in Psalm 55:17 and Daniel 6:10). Just like the Israelites, we can create our own daily rhythm of worship and sacrifice by setting aside intentional times to pray, read Scripture, and offer our lives to God, making our worship a 'pleasing aroma' to Him (Ephesians 5:2).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of offering the second lamb at twilight in Exodus 29:41?
The offering of the second lamb at twilight, as described in Exodus 29:41, is a continuation of the daily burnt offerings that were to be made to the Lord, as also mentioned in Exodus 29:39, and it signifies the ongoing need for atonement and worship, as seen in Leviticus 1:1-17.
Why are the grain offering and drink offering repeated with the second lamb in Exodus 29:41?
The repetition of the grain offering and drink offering with the second lamb emphasizes the importance of consistency and thoroughness in worship, as seen in Numbers 28:1-8, where similar offerings are described, highlighting the need for both morning and evening sacrifices.
How does the concept of a 'pleasing aroma' in Exodus 29:41 relate to our worship today?
The idea of a 'pleasing aroma' in Exodus 29:41, also found in other verses like Genesis 8:21 and Ephesians 5:2, signifies that our worship and sacrifices, whether physical or spiritual, should be acceptable and pleasing to God, reflecting our love and obedience to Him, as taught in John 14:15.
What is the role of fire in the offering made by fire to the Lord in Exodus 29:41?
The fire in the offering made by fire to the Lord, as mentioned in Exodus 29:41, symbolizes the purification and consecration of the offering, as well as the divine acceptance of the sacrifice, as seen in Leviticus 9:24 and 1 Kings 18:38, where fire is used to signify God's presence and approval.
Reflection Questions
- What does the repetition of the daily offerings teach us about the nature of our relationship with God, and how can we apply this principle in our own lives?
- How can we, like the Israelites, create a daily rhythm of worship and sacrifice that is pleasing to God, and what role can morning and evening prayers play in this rhythm?
- In what ways can our own lives and actions be a 'pleasing aroma' to God, and what changes can we make to ensure that our worship is acceptable to Him?
- What does the concept of meeting with God 'at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting' in Exodus 29:42, in the context of Exodus 29:41, teach us about the importance of intentional times and places for worship and communion with God?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 29:41
And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:41
THE LAW OF THE DAILY , AND THE PROMISE OF GOD’S .(38-42) The consecration of the altar, which took place during the consecration of the priests, was to be followed immediately by the establishment of the daily sacrifice. Two lambs were to be offered every day, one in the morning, the other “between the evenings” (Exodus 29:39); partly in expiation of the daily sins of the nation, but mainly as a sign that the nation daily renewed its self-dedication to Jehovah, and offered itself afresh to be “a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice” to Him. Meat and drink offerings were to accompany the burnt sacrifice—signs of the gratitude due to God for His perpetual mercies, and acknowledgments of His protecting care and lovingkindness. At the same time incense was to be burnt upon the golden altar before the vail, as a figure of the perpetual prayer that it behoved the nation to send up to the Throne of Grace for a continuance of the Divine favour. (See Exodus 30:7-8.) (38) Two lambs of the first year.—See Note on Exodus 12:5. The LXX. insert ἀ ?ìώ ?ìïõò, “without blemish;” but this general requirement (Leviticus 22:22; Leviticus 22:24-25), relaxed only in the case of free-will offerings (Leviticus 22:23), does not need to be perpetually repeated. (39) At even.—Heb., between the two evenings. (On the meaning of the phrase, see Note 2 on Exodus 12:6.) (40) A tenth deal.—Heb., a tenth. A tenth of what measure is not said, but we may presume an ephah to be intended. The tenth part of an ephah was an omer (Exodus 16:36).
The omer is reckoned at rather less than half a gallon. An hin.—The hin was, like the omer and the ephah, an Egyptian measure. It is estimated at about three-quarters of a gallon. Beaten oil.—See Note 1 on Exodus 27:20. (41) The meat offering . . . the drink offering.—A “handful” of each meat offering was thrown upon the altar and burnt (Leviticus 2:2); the remainder belonged to the priests (Leviticus 2:3). Scripture says nothing of the disposal of the drink offering. According to Josephus (Ant. Jud. iii. 9, § 4), it was poured out in libation upon the altar. According to others, a portion only was thus disposed of, while the rest was the priests’. The latter view seems the more probable.
(42) The tabernacle of the congregation.—Rather, the tent of meeting.Where I will meet you.—This passage determines the meaning of the expression, “tent of meeting.” It was not the place where the congregation met together, for the congregation were forbidden to enter it, but the place where God met His people through their mediator and representative, the high priest, who could there commune with God and obtain replies from Him on all practical matters that were of national importance.
