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.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

Deuteronomy, beginning with chapter 26.Again it is important that we set the scene for you. Here's Moses, one hundred and twenty years old.
