申命记 15:19 CUVS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

SEVENTH YEAR RELEASE OF DEBTS (vs.1-6) Out of compassion for the poor God required creditors to release debtors from their debts at the end of seven years. This surely reminds us of the grace of God in forgiving our great debt of sin by means of the sacrifice of His beloved Son. This was evidently a general year of release, not a release of any particular debt after seven years (v.9). some people might take advantage of this to borrow money just before the time of release, but notice verse... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:19-22

Here is a repetition of the law concerning the redemption of the firstlings of the flock. See Exodus 13:15; Exodus 13:15 . But let not the Reader overlook the grand object intended from it. JESUS is the first-born among many brethren. He was devoted to the LORD'S service from the womb. And how highly expedient was it that his holiness and immaculate purity should be represented by an unblemished offering. Reader! GOD the HOLY GHOST give you and me grace, that our poor offerings may all be... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:19

Firstlings. Some belonged to the priests. Others, of which Moses speaks here, might be disposed of by the owners, chap. xii. 17. (Calmet) --- Thus females, which came first, belonged to them, but they could not work with them; (Menochius) with such at least as were the best, and fattened for a religious feast. Sheep designed for this purpose were not to be shorn; or, as the original term means, their wool was not to be "torn away." Bellon observes, that this is still the custom in some parts... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

19-23 Here is a direction what to do with the firstlings. We are not now limited as the Israelites were; we make no difference between a first calf, or lamb, and the rest. Let us then look to the gospel meaning of this law, devoting ourselves and the first of our time and strength to God; and using all our comforts and enjoyments to his praise, and under the direction of his law, as we have them all by his gift. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

Of the Firstlings v. 19. All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord, thy God, as a sacrifice or its equivalent; thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep, use the animals consecrated to Jehovah for earthly purposes. v. 20. Thou shalt eat it before the Lord, thy God, year by year, in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy household, as a sacrificial meal. Cf Deuteronomy... read more

And this is the manner [word] of the release [what is said therein]: Every creditor that lendeth aught unto his neighbour1 shall release it; he shall not exact [press his, sq.] it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called [for called is] the Lord’s release. 3Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [urge, press] it again: but that which Isaiah 4:0... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

Here we have provision made for the relief of the poor and the less fortunate at regularly stated intervals. The great ideal is revealed in the words, "There shall be no poor with thee." This, however, was possible only as Moses taught, "If only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God. . . ." In this connection they were charged to make provision for the release of the debtor every seventh year. In all social life will come times of adversity but if this benevolent provision... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

The Consumption of the Firstborn Males in Worship Before Yahweh (Deuteronomy 15:19-23 ). Moses now reintroduces the firstborn males. These are Yahweh’s because He spared them on the night of the Passover and they must therefore be sacrificed to Him, with the meat originally going to the priests. They can therefore actually represent poor people and bondsmen before Yahweh, for they represented the firstborn who were spared in Egypt who were in such a situation (Exodus 13:2; Exodus 13:11-16),... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:19-23

Deuteronomy 15:19-Isaiah : . The law concerning the first-born of cattle (not to be ploughed with) and sheep (not to be shorn) (see Exodus 13:11-Nehemiah : *, Exodus 22:29 f.*, Exodus 34:19 f. (all JE), and Numbers 18:15-Job : * (P)). The older laws are here modified to suit the law of one sanctuary, where alone the sacrificial family meal is now to be eaten. Exodus 22:30 cannot therefore be carried out. P reserves all the flesh for the priesthood ( Deuteronomy 14:22-Joel : *). Deuteronomy... read more
