申命记 15:19 CUVS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

Firstborn animals (15:19-23)Since the firstborn of all animals belonged to God, people could not use them for their personal benefit (see notes on Exodus 13:1-16). Every firstborn clean animal was sacrificed to God and then eaten by the priests, unless it had some defect. In that case it was used as ordinary meat (19-23; see also Numbers 18:17-18). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:19

"All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock. Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, thou and thy household. And if it shall have any blemish, or if it be lame or blind, any blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt eat it within thy gates, the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 15:19

Ver. 19. Thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, &c.— This would be better rendered, with the firstling of thy herd. Beside the firstling males, which were given to the priests, there were firstling females, which were first offered as peace-offerings to God, and then, after the priest had his share, the owner feasted upon the rest with his friends. See the next verse. Le Clerc, however, takes firstling here, as in other places, in a figurative sense, for the prime or... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

The sanctification of first-born cattle 15:19-23Moses had finished what he had to say about provisions for the needy (the Levites, aliens, orphans, widows, the poor, and slaves; Deuteronomy 14:22 to Deuteronomy 15:18). Here his thoughts turned back to the subject of the first-born of animals that he mentioned previously when he addressed the sacrificial meals (Deuteronomy 12:6; Deuteronomy 12:17; Deuteronomy 14:23).The Israelites were not to use their first-born male animals for personal gain... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

The Sabbatical YearThis chapter deals with the year of release, or the Sabbatical Year, and should be compared with Leviticus 25. In addition to the rest for the land and the manumission of Hebrew slaves in the seventh year, it prescribes a release of debts (Deuteronomy 15:1-5); only, however, so far as Hebrew creditors are concerned, and proper loans, not money due on account of purchase (Deuteronomy 15:3, Deuteronomy 15:8-9).4. Save when there shall be] RV ’Howbeit there shall be.’ The law is... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 15:19

(19) All the firstling males. . . . thou shalt sanctify—i.e., recognise them as the property of Jehovah by not using them for ordinary purposes. In Leviticus 27:26 we read, “No man shall sanctify it”—i.e., shall make it the subject of a special vow or dedication, because it already belongs to Jehovah. This is the only interpretation consistent with the context in Leviticus; for Deuteronomy 27:0 deals entirely with “voluntary” offerings, which are in a sense outside the Law. (See Notes at the... read more
