Numbers 28:29a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;
The setting

The emotion here: faithful documentation knowing that even smallest details matter to God's perfect order
The original word
kebesh (כֶּבֶשׂ) — young male lamb, representing innocence and the most tender sacrifice
Why it matters
A tenth of an ephah was about 2 quarts - enough grain to make bread for one person for a day
Read with care
