God's Provision for Ministry

Commentators explain that this verse outlines God's practical system for supporting the priests. Since they had no land inheritance, their sustenance came directly from portions of the meal, sin, and trespass offerings brought by the people. This ensured that those dedicated to full-time ministry were cared for by the community.
