“God said to Moshe: Engage the sons of Yisrael and tell them: What is to be brought near to me as my sacrifice for my devotions on fire, the expression of my willingness, you should take care to bring near to me at the time of his meeting. Then tell them: This is the devotion to fire that you should bring near to God: sheep of the year in their entirety, corresponding to the day two, as a constant upward offering. You do the sheep, and only one thing, in the morning; - You do the second sheep between the two evenings; - and a tenth of an efa fine flour for a tribute, mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil obtained by pressing. A constant uplifting sacrifice, which is performed on Mount Sinai, as an expression of the willingness, God for the devotion of fire. And his casting offering a quarter of a hin for the one sheep, in the sanctuary to pour spiritual wine to God. And you perform the second sheep between the two evenings, as if by giving homage in the morning and like its casting offering, you perform a fire giving of the expression of consent to God. "
