申命記 26:5-9 JC

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:7

And when we cried unto the Lord our God ,.... As they did by reason of their hard bondage, Exodus 2:23 , and the Lord heard our voice, and looked upon our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression ; with a look of pity and compassion, heard their cries, answered their petitions, and sent them a deliverer, Exodus 2:25 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:8

And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt ,.... After some time: with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm ; by his almighty power, of which full proof was given by what he then did, Deuteronomy 5:15 , and with great terribleness : to Pharaoh and his people, through the plagues that were inflicted on them, especially the last, the slaying of their firstborn; see Deuteronomy 4:34 , and with signs and with wonders ; wrought by the hands of Moses and Aaron, meaning the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:5

A Syrian ready to perish was my father - This passage has been variously understood, both by the ancient versions and by modern commentators. The Vulgate renders it thus: Syrus persequebatur patrem meum , "A Syrian persecuted my father." The Septuagint thus: Συριαν απεβαλεν ὁ πατηρ μου , "My father abandoned Syria." The Targum thus: אבא ית לאובדא בעא ארמאה לבן Laban arammaah bea leobada yath abba , "Laban the Syrian endeavored to destroy my father." The Syriac: "My father was led... read more

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

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
