God's Absolute Ownership
Commentators unanimously affirm that this verse declares God's total ownership of all creation. He owns every wild beast and all domesticated cattle. This means God is not dependent on human offerings; He doesn't need our sacrifices because everything is already His. As Albert Barnes notes, what we think we 'own' is merely held under God's ultimate proprietorship.
