“Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the Lord, &c.] Called the daily sacrifice, (<270811>Daniel 8:11,12,13) typical of Christ’s sacrifice, which has a continual daily virtue in it, to take away the sins of his people; and which ought to be looked unto faith, and pleaded by them for that purpose every day (<430129>John 1:29): of a lamb of the first year without a blemish; a type of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and blemish, strong and able, and so fit and proper to be a sacrifice for the sins of others: thou shalt prepare it every morning; or, “morning by morning”f830; this seems to be said not to the prince, but rather to the prophet, and indeed to every believer; who…”

Exo 29:38-42; Num 28:3-8, Num 28:10; Dan 8:11-13; Joh 1:29; Pe1 1:19, Pe1 1:20; Rev 13:8 of the first year: Heb. a son of his year, Exo 12:5; Lev 12:6 every morning: Heb. morning by morning, Psa 92:2; Isa 50:4 Ezekiel 46:14”

“The Daily Sacrifice Eze 46:13. And a yearling lamb without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burnt-offering daily for Jehovah: every morning shalt thou prepare it. Eze 46:14. And a meat-offering shalt thou add to it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and oil a third of a hin, to moisten the wheaten flour, as a meat-offering for Jehovah: let these be everlasting statutes, perpetually enduring. Eze 46:15. And prepare the lamb, and the meat-offering, and the oil, every morning as a perpetual burnt-offering. - The preparation of the daily sacrifice is not imposed upon the prince, in harmony with Eze 45:17; it is the duty of the congregation, which the priests have to superintend. Every morning a…”
