Commentary
4 notes on this verseOne lamb thou shalt offer in the morning - These two lambs, one in the morning, and the other in the evening, were generally termed the morning and evening daily sacrifices, and were offered from the time of their settlement in the promised land to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. The use of these sacrifices according to the Jews was this: “The morning sacrifice made atonement for the sins committed in the night, and the evening sacrifice expiated the sins committed during the day.”
This site's exposition
two lambs of the first year day by day
on Exodus 29:38-41
The daily service of Israel begins here, a lamb in the morning and a lamb at evening with flour, oil and wine, without a break. Numbers 28:3-6 repeats the order and calls it the continual burnt offering ordained in mount Sinai. The evening lamb fixed an hour that the rest of Scripture keeps returning to, at 1 Kings 18:36 where Elijah prays at the time of the evening sacrifice, at Ezra 9:4-5, and at Acts 3:1 where Peter and John go up to the temple at the ninth hour.

The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning,....
Whether there were any other sacrifices to be offered or not, these were sure to be offered, at the public charge, for the benefit and comfort of all Israel, to make atonement for their daily sins, and to be an acknowledgement to God of their daily mercies. This was that which the duty of every day required.
