Commentary on Numbers 4:16
Eleazar's oversight of the oil, incense, meal offering, and anointing oil placed him in charge of the most essential elements of worship—light, prayer, grain offering, and consecration. These four elements together represent the fullness of Israel's approach to God. The oil for light sustained the golden lampstand's continual flame, symbolizing God's presence and the illumination of His word. This verse demonstrates the principle that worship leadership requires both divine appointment and faithful stewardship of sacred things.
