Moadim: Appointed Times

28 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, “Command Bnei-Yisrael and tell them to be careful to present to Me at the moadim My food offerings by fire as a pleasing aroma. Tell them: This is the fire offering which you are to present to Adonai: two male lambs a year old, without flaw, as a daily regular burnt offering. Prepare one lamb in the morning and the other lamb you are to prepare at twilight, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin[a] of oil from pressed olives. This is the regular burnt offering initiated at Mount Sinai, as a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to Adonai. With each lamb pour out a fourth of a hin of fermented drink at the Sanctuary as a drink offering to Adonai. Prepare the second lamb at twilight with the same type of grain and drink offerings you prepared in the morning, a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to Adonai.
