Structured Support for Worship
Commentators explain that this verse details a fixed, regular offering of oil (1/100th of a person's total). Unlike earlier free-will offerings, this structured system was designed to ensure the needs of the sanctuary and its ministers were consistently met, preventing the neglect seen in later periods. It reflects God's desire for orderly and faithful support of His work.
