Exodus 29:38Easy To Read Version“Every day you must make an offering on the altar. [280] You must kill two lambs that are one year old. See the chapter |
They offer burnt offerings {\cf2\super [172]} and burn incense {\cf2\super [173]} of spices to the Lord every morning and every evening. They put the bread in rows on the special table in the temple. {\cf2\super [174]} And they take care of the lamps on the golden lampstand so it shines bright each and every evening. We very carefully serve the Lord our God. But you people have abandoned him!
I will build a temple {\cf2\super [11]} to honor the name of the Lord my God. At the temple we will burn incense {\cf2\super [12]} in front of the Lord, and we will always put the holy bread {\cf2\super [13]} on the special table. We will offer burnt offerings every morning and evening, every Sabbath day, every New Moon, {\cf2\super [14]} and on the other feast days that the Lord our God has commanded us to celebrate. This is a rule for the people of Israel to obey forever.
Hezekiah gave some of his own animals to be offered as the burnt offerings. These animals were used for the daily burnt offerings that were given each morning and each evening. These animals were offered on the Sabbath days, {\cf2\super [383]} during the New Moon {\cf2\super [384]} Festivals and the other Special Meetings. {\cf2\super [385]} This was done as it is written in the Lord’s law.
Solomon offered sacrifices {\cf2\super [140]} every day the way Moses commanded. Sacrifices were to be offered on Sabbath days, {\cf2\super [141]} on the New Moon {\cf2\super [142]} celebrations, and on the three yearly holidays. The three yearly holidays were the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
“Then the future ruler will make an agreement with many people. That agreement will continue for one week. {\cf2\super [115]} The offerings and sacrifices will stop for a half of a week. {\cf2\super [116]} And a destroyer will come. He will do terrible, destructive things! {\cf2\super [117]} But God has ordered that destroyer to be completely destroyed.”
He is not like those other priests. Those other priests had to offer (give) sacrifices {\cf2\super [75]} every day. They had to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people. But Christ doesn’t need to do that. Christ offered only one sacrifice for all time. Christ offered himself.
