신명기 26:3 KRV

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:3

Nothing could be more proper, than that every Israelite with his own mouth, should confess that the LORD had fulfilled his promise, in bringing him to the land he had said. Reader! and will not every true Israelite of the spiritual seed of JESUS say this, when he cometh to that rest, which remaineth for the people of GOD? Hebrews 4:9 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

1-11 When God has made good his promises to us, he expects we should own it to the honour of his faithfulness. And our creature comforts are doubly sweet, when we see them flowing from the fountain of the promise. The person who offered his first-fruits, must remember and own the mean origin of that nation, of which he was a member. A Syrian ready to perish was my father. Jacob is here called a Syrian. Their nation in its infancy sojourned in Egypt as strangers, they served there as slaves.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

First-Fruits and Tithes Deuteronomy 26:1-19 The Israelites were God’s tenants-at-will. The entire land and its produce were His; and they were required to acknowledge His ownership by the payment of first-fruits-both at Passover and at Pentecost, Leviticus 2:14 ; Numbers 28:26 -and of tithes. All we possess and all we earn are equally the gift of God. Let us acknowledge this by setting apart a fixed proportion of the results of our daily work, whether wages, or crops, or brood, or herd. The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

Here we have the final movement in the second of these great farewell discourses of Moses. In it the lawgiver lifted his eyes and looked at the land to be possessed, and proceeded to tell the people how they were to worship in the new land. The first recognition and act of worship necessarily is that of approach to God. Therefore they were instructed to go to the place of worship with the first fruits of the land. Then a formal confession of a threefold nature was to be made; first, the fact... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

The Offering of the Firstfruits (Deuteronomy 26:1-11 ). The offering of the firstfruits was to take place at the Feast of Sevens when the harvest had hopefully been gathered in. Here Israel were commanded to gather their firstfruits once they were in the land and bring them to Yahweh at the place that He will choose, declaring their gratitude to Him as they acknowledged what He had done for them, and placing their tribute before Him. Analysis in the words of Moses: a And it shall be, when... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

Deuteronomy 26:1-1 Kings : . A preliminary offering of first-fruits ( Deuteronomy 18:4) is to be presented annually in a basket ( Deuteronomy 28:5; Deuteronomy 28:17) at the Temple, a hymn or liturgy, acknowledging Yahweh’ s goodness, to be recited at the same time. 1. = Deuteronomy 17:14 a. Deuteronomy 26:2. Render, “ some of the first-fruits of the ground.” This seems to have constituted a small sacrificial meal, anticipatory of that supplied by the rest of the first-fruits. Deuteronomy... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—The rehearsal of rights and duties, pubilc and private, terminates in this chapter with two liturgical enactments. These have a clear and close reference to the whole of the preceding legislation, and form a most appropriate and significant conclusion to it. (Sp. COM.)Deuteronomy 26:1-11 First fruits. Fruit.
