William H. Shea, Ph.D., retired professor of Old Testament Department Seminary, Andrews University; and retired associate for the Biblical Research Institute, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, provides the following insight about this book: “In the Hebrew of the Old Testament the word tamid is used as an adverb, which modifies a verbal motion, to point out that the action goes on regularly, consistently or continually-‘daily’ at regular, repeated intervals. It is never used of an object or action in the most holy place, where the priest ministered only once a year. Nor is it ever used of pagan worship or the use of idols. It is used almost thirty times in connection with the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple of Jerusalem-always referring to some action the priest carried out in its courtyard or in the holy place.
