📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of Moses' instructions about releasing Hebrew servants after six years of service. In ancient Israel's agricultural society, wealth was measured in livestock, grain, and wine - the basic necessities of life. When freeing a servant, masters weren't to send them away empty-handed but were to share from their abundance.
