Verse Takeaways

1

Worship from God's Provision

Commentators explain that the 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep were not from the people's existing flocks but were taken directly from the 'spoil' of their recent, God-given victory over the Ethiopians. This act of worship was a direct giving back to God from the abundance He had just provided, serving as both a thank offering and a communal feast for their covenant renewal.
