May it be Your will,

Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers,

to have compassion on us,

to forgive us all our sins, [done unknowingly],

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 Moses, Your servant,

from the mouth of Your Reverence,

as it is said:

And Adonoy spoke to Moses to say:

Command the Children of Israel,⁶⁴

footnotes: ⁶⁴ Kohanim, Levites and Israelites 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 Israel 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 odor 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 ephah⁶⁵ of fine flour

as a meal-offering,

mixed with oil of crushed [olives]

measuring one-fourth of a hin.⁶⁶

footnotes: ⁶⁶ See note on page 55 for explanation.

[This is] a constant burnt-offering

as offered at Mount Sinai

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

And its libation will be

a fourth of a hin for the one lamb;

in the Holy⁶⁷ [Sanctuary] you will pour out

footnotes: ⁶⁷ 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 odor to Adonoy.

And he will slaughter it

on the north side of the Altar,

before Adonoy;

and Aaron'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.
