Provision for God's Servants
This verse establishes that priests were to receive a portion of the offerings. Commentators explain this was God's ordained method for supporting those who dedicated their lives to serving in the sanctuary. This allowed them to focus entirely on their spiritual duties, a principle the Apostle Paul later echoes, stating that those who serve the altar should live by the altar (1 Corinthians 9:13).
