Explained for Children

Imagine you have a big cookie, and you want to share it with your friend. But first, you need to give a small piece of the cookie to your mom as a thank you. This verse is like that, but instead of cookies, the Israelites are sharing meat with God and others, and giving part back to God.

Historical Background
