Subject: Numbers references the Sinai institution of the daily burnt offering
Explanation: Numbers 28:6 explicitly states that the daily burnt offering was "ordained at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma," directly cross-referencing Exodus 29:38-42 where God first commanded the continual morning and evening burnt offering. This intertextual connection shows Scripture's self-awareness—Numbers reminds Israel that their ongoing worship practice was established at Sinai when the tabernacle was consecrated. The daily tamid offering thus maintains covenantal continuity from Sinai through the wilderness to the conquest, ensuring perpetual divine acceptance through the pleasing aroma.
