Study note
Setting — God speaks to Moses, issuing a command that follows the priestly ordination instructions. The directive establishes a permanent ritual practice for the Israelite community.
The words — תָּמִיד (ta.Mid) means continuity or regularity, and עֹלָה ('olah) denotes the burnt offering. Their pairing frames the sacrifice as a non-interruptible obligation.
The thread — The routine links directly to the twilight lamb in Exodus 29:41 and the promised divine presence in Exodus 29:43. It also aligns with the meeting-place instructions in Exodus 25:22.
Why it lands — The text commands a fixed, generational rhythm of sacrifice at the tent entrance. It requires the reader to treat worship as a sustained, institutional practice rather than a sporadic event.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
