Exodus 29:37-45 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

37. Take seven days to make the altar pure. Set it apart. Then the altar will be a very holy place. Anything that touches it will be holy.

38. "Every day offer on the altar two lambs that are a year old.

39. Offer one in the morning. Offer the other one when the sun goes down.

40. Along with the first lamb, offer eight cups of fine flour. Mix it with a quart of oil that is made from pressed olives. Along with that, offer a quart of wine as a drink offering.

41. "Sacrifice the other lamb when the sun goes down. Sacrifice it along with the same grain offering and its drink offering as you do in the morning. It has a pleasant smell. It is an offering that is made to me with fire.

42. "For all time to come, the burnt offering must be sacrificed regularly. Sacrifice it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting in my sight. There I will meet you and speak to you.

43. There I will also meet with the people of Israel. My glory will make the place holy.

44. "So I will set the Tent of Meeting and the altar apart. And I will set Aaron and his sons apart to serve me as priests.

45. "Then I will live among the people of Israel. And I will be their God.
