Verse Takeaways

Giving Beyond the Minimum
Commentators explain that this verse distinguishes between required offerings and voluntary gifts. While the law set a baseline of sacrifices, it also encouraged those with greater means to give more freely ('besides that which he is able to get'). This highlights a principle of giving to God not just out of obligation, but also out of a generous heart according to one's ability.
