Context of Exodus 29:38

36Every day you are to prepare a bull for a purification offering for atonement. You are to purge the altar by making atonement for it, and you are to anoint it to set it apart as holy. 37For seven days you are to make atonement for the altar and set it apart as holy. Then the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will be holy. “Now this is what you are to prepare on the altar every day continually: two lambs a year old. 39The first lamb you are to prepare in the morning, and the second lamb you are to prepare around sundown. 40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
