John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

The Presentation of Firsteruits and of Tithes1-11. Presentation of the Firstfruits, as a Thankoffering for the mercy of God in delivering the nation from Egypt and in giving them a good land and fruitful seasons.5. A Syrian] Jacob is meant. His mother came from Aram-naharaim (Genesis 24:10), and he himself spent fourteen years in that country (Genesis 28:1-5; Genesis 29-31). The term implies a suggestion of disparagement. For his going down to Egypt see Genesis 46. 11. Having dedicated their... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

XXVI.Deuteronomy 26:1-11. PRESENTATION OF THE FIRST FRUITS.(1) When thou art come in.—Rashi says they were not bound to the discharge of this duty until they had conquered and divided the land. But the state of things described in the Book of Joshua (Joshua 21:43-45) would demand it. From the words of Deuteronomy 26:11, “thou shalt rejoice,” the Jews gather that the thanksgiving to be said over the firstfruits (in Deuteronomy 26:5-10) must be said at some time between the close of the feast of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

National Safeguards Deuteronomy 26:10 Each young man takes an immense stride in experience when he discovers that God has made him not only the member of a family but also the citizen of a nation. Gradually he comes to realize how much the word 'nation' means. The earlier part of the Bible occupies itself not so much with individuals as with the fortunes of a chosen nation. We read in the Old Testament how God called and trained up and delivered and chastened and restored His people Israel.... read more

22. Firstfruits and Prayer CHAPTER 26 1. The basket of first-fruits, confession and rejoicing (Deuteronomy 26:1-11 ) 2. Obedience yielded and prayer (Deuteronomy 26:12-15 ) 3. Jehovah acknowledges His people (Deuteronomy 26:16-19 ) The possession of the land is anticipated and a most beautiful ceremony is appointed for confession and worship in the place the Lord chose to place His Name there. The first of all the fruit of the land was to be gathered and put in a basket. This basket was... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

FIRSTFRUITS AND TITHES (vs.1-15) In Amalek we have seen that which God refuses. Now a lovely positive contrast is seen in that which God accepts. The Lord giving Israel their promised land, and He would bless the fruits of their labors, the increase being great, depending on their obedience to Him. Of this increase they were to bring a basket of the first of all the produce the land yielded, and go to the place the Lord chose to put His name (vs.1-2). This was Jerusalem. They might feel that... read more

MORE REGULATIONS PUBLIC PRIVILEGES (Deuteronomy 23:1-9 ) The privileges referred to here are doubtless honors in the state and perhaps, in the case of foreigners, incorporation with Israel by marriage. Eunuchs and bastards were denied these privileges (Deuteronomy 23:1-2 ), and also members of what Gentile nations (Deuteronomy 23:3 )? What caused the latter prohibition (Deuteronomy 23:4-6 )? Such passages as Nehemiah 13:1 ; Ruth 4:10 ; and 2 Kings 10:2 show that there were some exceptions... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:6-11

I hope the Reader will not fail to read these verses with profit, if while he beholds the trainment of Israel, and remembers their history, he looks back and connects with it his own. Do you know my brother, what the spiritual oppressions of Egyptian bondage under Sin and Satan mean? Do you remember the wormwood and the gall? Can you recollect the time, the place, the memorable spot, and the LORD'S answers to prayer, when from the depth of sin, you cried to the depth of divine mercy, and found... read more
