TAMID. (Continuous offering).Ninth tractate of order Kodashim in the Mishna..Its seven
chapters discuss the daily burnt offerings in the temple brought by the priests every morning and afternoon (cf.Exod.29:38-42;30:7,8;Numb.28:3-8.) Rather than merely listing the laws regarding the daily offering the Mishna describes the actual performance of the ritual. Included is a description of the renewal of the ashes from the altar, the arrangement of the firewood, the drawing of lots among the priests for duties, the
procedure for slaughtering the lamb and bringing it to the altar, the daily morning prayer, the music that accompanied the sacrifices, the cleansing of the candelabrum and the offering of incense on the inner altar.
The subject is amplified in the Babylonian Talmud.

Tamid continuity
Most frequently this word is used in an adjectival genitive construction with ,ola for the continual whole burnt offering made to God every morning and evening (exod.29:42;Numb.28:6,10,15,23;Ezra 3:5;Neh.10:34;cf.Ezek.46:15,every morning; and the continual minha,,Numb.4:16;Neh.10:34;Lev.6:13.The word is used alone to designate the daily burnt offering in Dan.8:11-13;11:31;12:11.Numbers 4:7 refers to the
“bread of continuity” meaning the bread that was always there.

TAMID. The ninth or tenth tractate of the order Kodashim in the Mishna and the Babylonian Talmud.
Tamid is an abbreviated form for olat tamid (daily burnt-offering),and refers to the daily (morning and evening) sacrifices as set out in Exodus 29:38-42 and Numbers 28:1-8
(cf. II Kings 16:15;Ezek.46:13-15;Neh.10:34 and IIChron.13:11.)
This tractate is not actually concerned with these sacrifices; it gives a description of the morning work in the temple, from the moment the priests set about their work early in the morning until after the tamid sacrifice was organized later in the morning.
Little controversy is recorded here in the Mishna, a sign of an early redaction , probably from just before or soon after the destruction of the Temple. In current editions of the Mishna and Talmud, Tamid has seven chapters, but originally it seems to have had only six,the present seventh being included in the sixth, and this explains its position after
Keritot and Me,ilah which have six chapters each.
The following is a summary re the seven chapters from the same source as above:
Chapter 1 Discusses priestly night watch and preparation for the morning sacrifice.
2 Deals with new fire on the altar.
3 Casting lots to determine which priest will serve.
4 Describes the slaughtering of the lamb and preparation for the sacrifice.
5 Regarding the priestly prayer and biblical benediction.
6 Offering of incense.
7 The performance of the High priest in the daily services (not the annual one)
