From that time onward, the regular offerings on the altar commenced. Distinct from all other offerings, this particular sacrifice was perpetually presented as a burnt offering, and none of the priests or any other individuals were permitted to consume any portion of it. Each morning and evening, two lambs were offered, accompanied by a grain offering of an omer (or more accurately, a gomor) of flour, which constituted one-tenth of an ephah. It was mixed with a quarter of a hin of pure oil (noting that a hin amounts to one-sixth of an ephah) and along with this, a quarter of a guin of wine was also provided for libations.

Based on the calculations in the English Bible, an omer of flour weighs approximately three and a half pounds; a guin corresponded to four pints, meaning a quarter of a guin is about one pint, roughly equating to two bottles. Evidently, all the offerings were incinerated, and the wine was poured out upon or in proximity to the altar of burnt offerings, as noted by Josephus. One detail is certain: it was prohibited on the altar of incense.
