Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

Here is, I. A good work ordered to be done, and that is the presenting of a basket of their first-fruits to God every year, Deut. 26:1, 2. Besides the sheaf of first-fruits, which was offered for the whole land, on the morrow after the passover (Lev. 23:10), every man was to bring for himself a basket of first-fruits at the feast of pentecost, when the harvest was ended, which is therefore called the feast of first-fruits (Exod. 34:22), and is said to be kept with a tribute of... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-15

Concerning the disposal of their tithe the third year we had the law before, Deut. 14:28, 29. The second tithe, which in the other two years was to be spent in extraordinaries at the feasts, was to be spent the third year at home, in entertaining the poor. Now because this was done from under the eye of the priests, and a great confidence was put in the people's honesty, that they would dispose of it according to the law, to the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless (Deut. 26:12), it is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:11

And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing ,.... In all the blessings of goodness and mercies of life, which God in his kind providence had favoured them with: which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house ; to them and their families, by which they were comfortably provided for: thou and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you ; by which it seems that not only a basket of firstfruits was brought and presented to the Lord, which is the perquisite of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12

When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase ,.... Which, according to Maimonides F11 In Misn. Maaser Sheni, c. 5. sect. 6. , is to be understood of the feast, in which all tithes are finished, which is the feast of the passover: the third year, which is the year of tithing ; that is, the third from every seventh, when the land lay fallow. Every year a tithe was paid to the Levites; and besides that a second tithe, which was carried to Jerusalem and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:13

Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God ,.... Make the following declaration as in his presence; for this was not made in the tabernacle or temple at, Jerusalem, since the tithe was to be eaten with the poor in the gates of the owner, as in Deuteronomy 26:12 , I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house : which Aben Ezra and Onkelos interpret of the tithe; but it seems, besides that, to take in everything devoted to all holy uses, be they what they will, which were... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:11

Thou shalt rejoice - God intends that his followers shall be happy; that they shall eat their bread with gladness and singleness of heart, praising him. Those who eat their meat grudgingly, under the pretense of their unworthiness, etc., profane God's bounties and shall have no thanks for their voluntary humility. Thou, and the Levite, and the stranger - They were to take care to share God's bounties among all those who were dependent on them. The Levite has no inheritance, let him... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:12

The third year, which is the year of tithing - This is supposed to mean the third year of the seventh or Sabbatical year, in which the tenths were to be given to the poor. See the law, Deuteronomy 14:28 . But from the letter in both these places it would appear that the tithe was for the Levites, and that this tithe was drawn only once in three years. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:12

Verse 12 12.When thou hast made an end of tithing. In this passage Moses urgently stimulates them to offer the tithes willingly and abundantly, by placing God, as it were, before their eyes, as if they paid them into his hand: for a solemn protestation is enjoined, in which they condemn themselves as guilty before God, if they have not faithfully paid the tax imposed upon them; but they pray for grace and peace if they have honestly discharged their duty. For nothing can be more awakening to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

EXPOSITION THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER AT THE PRESENTATION OF FIRSTFRUITS AND TITHES . As Moses began his exposition of the laws and rights instituted for Israel by a reference to the sanctuary as the place which the Lord should choose, and the place where religious service was to be rendered ( Deuteronomy 12:1-32 .), so here he follows up his address by a reference to the same. Of the gifts which had to be presented at the sanctuary there were two specially... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:1-11

Joy in the use of temporal mercies; or, sanctification of our possessions to God warrants a holy joy in the use of them. The order of thought is this: 1. In due time Israel would be in possession of the land which the Lord promised to give them. 2. Of this comfortable possession the gathering of the fruits thereof would be the proof and sign. 3. In accordance with a well-understood law, the firstfruits were to be offered to God (see reference). 4. In thus offering the... read more
