May it be Your will,

Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers,

to have compassion on us,

to forgive us all our sins,

to atone all our iniquities, [done knowingly],

to pardon all our [malicious] transgressions,

and may You build the Holy Temple

quickly, in our days,

that we may offer, before You,

the daily burnt-offering to atone for us,

as You wrote for us in Your Torah

by the hand of Moshe, Your servant,

from the mouth of Your Reverence,

as it is said:

And Adonoy spoke to Moshe to say:

Command the Children of Yisrael,⁶⁵

footnotes: ⁶⁵ Kohanim, Levites and Yisraelites were to be present at the offering of the two daily public burnt-offerings. The Sages instituted the program of Maamodoth, under which representatives of all 12 tribes of Yisrael were always present when these sacrifices were offered. These representatives were rotated each week.

and say to them:

My offering, My food,

to be consumed by My fires,

a pleasing aroma to Me,

You shall be diligent to bring unto Me,

at its fixed time.

And you will say to them:

“This is the fire-offering

that you will bring unto Adonoy:

[male] lambs, in their first year,

without blemish,

two [of them] each day,

as a constant burnt-offering.

Offer one lamb in the morning,

and the second lamb,

offer in the afternoon.

And a tenth of an ephah⁶⁶ of fine flour

footnotes: ⁶⁶ A tenth of an ephah is the eqivalent of 43-1/5 eggs.

as a meal-offering,

mixed with oil of crushed [olives]

measuring one-fourth of a hin.⁶⁷

footnotes: ⁶⁷ The hin is a liquid measure containing 12 logs, of which each log is approximately 6 eggs.

[This is] a constant burnt-offering

as offered at Mount Sinai

for a pleasing aroma, a fire-offering to Adonoy.

And its libation will be

a fourth of a hin for the one lamb;

in the Holy⁶⁸ [Sanctuary] you will pour out

footnotes: ⁶⁸ On the Altar.

a drink-offering of strong wine to Adonoy.

And the second lamb

you will offer in the afternoon;

as the meal-offering of the morning

[together] with its libation, you shall offer

a fire-offering of pleasing aroma to Adonoy.

And he will slaughter it

on the north side of the Altar,

before Adonoy;

and Aharon’s sons, the Kohanim, will sprinkle

its blood all around the Altar.

May it be Your will,

Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers,

that this recitation be

important, acceptable

and desirable before You,

as if we sacrificed

the daily burnt-offering

at its proper time,

in its proper place

and according to its laws.
