offered up at Mount Sinai: Like those offered up during the days of the investitures (Exod. 29:38-43). Another interpretation: “offered up at Mount Sinai” : the continual burnt offering is compared to the continual offering of Mount Sinai, the one offered before the giving of the Torah, about which it is written, “he put it [the blood] into the basins” (Exod. 24:6). This teaches us that it [the continual burnt offering] requires a vessel [for its blood]. — [Torath Kohanim , Tzav 18:8]
העשיה בהר סיני: כאותן שנעשו בימי המלואים. דבר אחר העשויה בהר סיני, הקיש עולת תמיד לעולת הר סיני אותה שנתקרבה לפני מתן תורה שכתוב בה (שמות כד, ו) וישם באגנות מלמד שטעונה כלי:
7Its libation shall be one quarter of a hin for each lamb, to be poured on the holy [altar] as a libation of strong wine to the Lord.
a libation of strong wine: Intoxicating wine, [this comes] to exclude wine straight from the winepress [which has not fermented]. — [B.B. 97a]
נסך שכר: יין המשכר פרט ליין מגתו:
8And the second lamb you shall offer up in the afternoon. You shall offer it up with the same meal offering and libation as the morning [sacrifice], a fire offering with a spirit of satisfaction to the Lord.
a spirit of satisfaction: It is gratifying for Me that I spoke, and My will was carried out. — [Zev . 46b, Sifrei Pinchas 38]
ריח ניחח: נחת רוח לפני שאמרתי ונעשה רצוני:
9And on the Sabbath day, two unblemished lambs in the first year, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a meal offering, mixed with oil, and its libation.
The burnt offering of each Sabbath on its Sabbath: But not the burnt offering of this Sabbath on another Sabbath. For if they did not offer one up on this Sabbath, I might think that two should be offered up on the following Sabbath. Scripture therefore says, “on its Sabbath” to instruct us that if its day passes, its offering is canceled. — [Sifrei Pinchas 40]
עלת שבת בשבתו: ולא עולת שבת זו בשבת אחרת, הרי שלא הקריב בשבת זו שומע אני יקריב שתים לשבת הבאה, תלמוד לומר בשבתו, מגיד שאם עבר יומו בטל קרבנו:
in addition to the continual burnt offering: This refers to the additional [musaf] offerings, besides those two lambs of the continual burnt offering. And it teaches us that they [the additional sacrifices] may be offered only between the two continual offerings. Similarly, in the case of all the additional offerings it says, “In addition to the continual burnt offering” for this teaching. — [Sifrei Pinchas 40]
על עלת התמיד: אלו מוספין, לבד אותן שני כבשים של עולת התמיד. ומגיד שאין קרבין אלא בין שני התמידין, וכן בכל המוספין נאמר על עולת התמיד לתלמוד זה:
