The purpose of the daily offerings was so that the Lord could manifest Himself to the children of Israel. Each day, the Israelites were to remember their Sovereign and present gifts to Him—such as the incense, the lighting of the lamps (Ex. 30:8), and various sacrifices. They were also to bring forth their weekly offerings, including bread. As the ruler of Israel, the Lord disclosed His will within the sacred space, which was made holy by His glory (cf. Lev. 9:23-24).
