You are to offer
The phrase "You are to offer" indicates a commandment from God to the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of obedience in worship. The Hebrew root for "offer" is "qarab," which means to bring near or present. This act of offering is not merely a ritual but a means of drawing near to God, symbolizing the Israelites' dedication and submission to His will. Historically, offerings were central to Israelite worship, serving as a tangible expression of faith and reverence.

one lamb
The specification of "one lamb" highlights the significance of the lamb as a sacrificial animal in the Hebrew tradition. The lamb, often seen as a symbol of innocence and purity, prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God." In the context of the Old Testament, the lamb was a common offering, representing atonement and reconciliation with God. The use of a lamb underscores the necessity of a pure and spotless sacrifice to maintain a right relationship with the Divine.

in the morning
The timing "in the morning" signifies the beginning of the day, a time of renewal and new beginnings. Offering a lamb in the morning can be seen as dedicating the day to God, seeking His guidance and blessing from the outset. In the ancient Near Eastern context, morning sacrifices were a common practice, symbolizing the community's dependence on God for daily sustenance and protection.

and the other at twilight
The phrase "and the other at twilight" indicates the completion of the day's cycle with another act of worship. Twilight, the transition from day to night, represents reflection and thanksgiving for the day's blessings. This practice of offering at both morning and twilight illustrates the continuous nature of worship and the Israelites' constant reliance on God. It also foreshadows the perpetual intercession of Christ, who is the same "yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).

(4) At even.--Hebrew, between the two evenings. (See Exodus 12:6, and Note.)
