Herren sa til Moses: «Befal Israels folk at de skal komme med offergavene i rett tid. Det er Min mat til Mine matoffer – og de er som en behagelig duft for Meg. Be dem å komme med to årsgamle feilfrie værlam til å brennes hver dag. Slik skal det ofres hele tiden, både morgen og kveld. I tillegg til kjøttet skal det ofres 3,6 liter fint mel som offer fra avlingen, blandet med 1,5 liter presset olje. På denne måten skal det ofres matoffer hele tiden til behag for Herren. Disse ofrene ble innstiftet ved Sinaifjellet.
