Context Summary

Exodus 29:31-46 - The Continual Daily Offerings
The consecration ceremony was repeated on seven succeeding days, and must have produced a profound impression. Thus line was upon line; and we may magnify God's patience, in being willing through these repeated ordinances to educate the Hebrew people to the sublimest spirituality.
Notice the injunctions for daily services! No religious life can thrive without its regular hours and habits of devotion, such as these offerings suggest. Morning and evening prayers have been the custom in all ages. With the one we go forth to our labor till the evening, asking our Father to give guidance and protection. With the other we entreat forgiveness and mercy. See Psalms 55:17; Daniel 6:10. The chapter ends with many great and precious promises, which we who believe in Jesus may claim and enjoy. [source]
