Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 26:14

I have not eaten thereof in my mourning - When the Israelite would be unclean (compare the marginal references).Nor given ought thereof for the dead - The reference is not so much to the superstitious custom of placing food on or in tombs as to the funeral expenses, and more especially the usual feast for the mourners (compare Jeremiah 16:7; Ezekiel 24:17; Hosea 9:4; Tobit 4:17). The dedicated things were to be employed in glad and holy feasting, not therefore for funeral banquets; for death... read more

Deuteronomy 26:1-2. When thou art come into the land Every Israelite being obliged, by law, to offer the first-fruits of his field and vineyard at the tabernacle, at the proper seasons of the year, Moses now prescribes to them the forms of solemn profession and prayer with which each offerer should present them. Thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord shall choose This seems to have been especially enjoined to each master of a family, and the time when these first-fruits were to be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 26:3

Deuteronomy 26:3. I profess this day unto the Lord Thus, at his presenting them to the priest in waiting, the offerer was to declare he brought them in humble and grateful acknowledgment of the divine providence and goodness, that had settled him and his family in this fruitful country, pursuant to the gracious promises made to his forefathers. And the following confession appointed to be made on the occasion was well fitted to excite in his mind humility, gratitude, and trust in God; it... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 26:5

Deuteronomy 26:5. A Syrian was my father That is, Jacob; for though born in Canaan, he was a Syrian by descent, his mother Rebecca, and his grandfather Abraham, being both of Chaldea or Mesopotamia, which in Scripture is comprehended under the name of Syria. His wives and children, by their mothers’ side, and his relations, were Syrians, and he himself had lived twenty years in Syria with Laban. Ready to perish Through want and poverty, or through the rage of his brother Esau, and the... read more

Deuteronomy 26:10-11. Thou shalt set it The basket of first-fruits; before the Lord That is, before the sanctuary, where God was more especially present. This shows that the person offering this oblation was to hold the basket in his hand while he made the foregoing acknowledgment. And worship before the Lord Bowing his body, as the original word imports, toward the holy place, which external sign of inward worship, in all truly pious men, was accompanied with gratitude of heart to God... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 26:12

Deuteronomy 26:12. The third year, which was the year of tithing Hebrews of that tithe; that is, of the tithe for the poor, commanded to be paid every third year, and instead of being carried to the place of the sanctuary, there to be eaten with joy before the Lord, was to be spent at home in entertaining their poor neighbours, and the Levites who lived in or near the place of the owner: see Deuteronomy 14:27-29; where this tithe is enjoined. Of the other yearly tithes, see on Deuteronomy... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 26:13

Deuteronomy 26:13. Before the Lord thy God As this tithe of the third year was to be spent at home, these words must signify either that every man was to make this solemn profession at home in his private addresses to God, or that the next time he went up to the place of the sanctuary he was to make this declaration before the most holy place, where God was supposed to be peculiarly present. At whichever place he made it, it was to be done as before God; that is, solemnly, seriously, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 26:14

Deuteronomy 26:14. I have not eaten thereof in my mourning This is thought by Spencer to have respect to some idolatrous custom then in use: such as that of the Egyptians, who, when they offered the first-fruits of the earth, were wont to invoke Isis with doleful lamentations. But, as the Israelites were not allowed to eat of things consecrated to God, when they were in a state of mourning, (Hosea 9:4,) this may probably be all that is here intended. Or the declaration may mean, I have... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-19

Declarations by Israel and by God (26:1-19)The first harvest season after the Israelites settled in Canaan would be of particular importance, bringing to a climax the fulfilment of God’s promise to Israel of a permanent homeland (26:1-4). The harvest firstfruits offered to God on this occasion would have special significance as the people recalled their humble beginnings, their slavery in Egypt, and the miraculous release that allowed them to possess the land God had prepared for them... read more
