And with the first lamb a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
Morning and evening lambs, without fail, this is the daily meal in God's house, the foundation of Israel's worship. Those who neglect prayer morning and evening starve their own souls; this constant attendance at the throne of grace must be kept up as faithfully as eating itself.
