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 26:15

Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven ,.... This is a prayer of the person that makes the above declaration annexed to it, desiring that God would vouchsafe to look with an eye of love, complacency, and delight, upon him and upon all his people, from heaven his holy habitation, though they were on earth, and unholy persons in themselves, and especially if compared with him; see Isaiah 57:15 , and bless thy people Israel ; with blessings temporal and spiritual: and the land... read more

Verse 15 15.Look down from thy holy habitation. Whilst they are commanded to offer their prayers and supplications, that God would bless the land, on this condition, that they had not defiled themselves by any sacrilege, at the same time they are reminded, on the other hand, that God’s blessing was not else to be hoped for. Meanwhile the expression is remarkable, “Bless the land which thou hast given us, a land that floweth with milk and honey:” for we infer from hence that the land was not so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-15

On the occasion of presenting the tithes, a special service was also to be made. The tithe here referred to is the vegetable or predial tithe, which, at the end of each third year, as here prescribed, was to be converted into a gift to the poor and needy. This, properly the second tithe ( LXX ; τὸ δεύτερον ἐπιδέκατον ), but usually called the third tithe (Tobit 1:7, 8; Josephus, 'Antiq.,' 4.8, 22), is quite distinct from the Levitical tithe prescribed in Le 27:30-33 and Numbers... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-15

Integrity in the will a condition of acceptable and successful prayer. We do not recall any passage in this book, on which we have as yet touched, that conveys a more striking impression than this of the purity and heart-searchingness of the Law of God. For elucidation of the several points of detail, the reader may consult the expository section. For our purpose now it is enough to say that it is assumed that the people will faithfully carry out the precepts and ordinances of God with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-15

A good conscience toward God. This solemn avowal, ordained to be made at the completion of the round of tithe obligations, was a wise safeguard against unpunctuality and neglect. The subject suggested is—The importance of self-examination in respect of the fulfillment of duties of religion . I. SELF - EXAMINATION A DUTY . The text suggests that we examine ourselves: 1. As to religious givings. 2. As to our fulfillment of the duties of hospitality and charity. 3. As... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-15

Complete consecration a condition of continued blessing. The system of social dependence is ordained of God. By a deliberate act of wisdom, God devoted the Levites to poverty, or rather to an equitable interest in the whole land. The necessities of some are created as the most fitting outlets for the charity of others. I. MEN ARE APPOINTED TO BE GOD 'S ALMONERS . Not more really does the sovereign of an empire employ persons of rank to be his stewards and almoners than... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-19

Looking up for the blessing. The interests of the dependent classes, "the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow," being considered and secured by the tithing of the third year, the Jew was directed then to look up for the Divine blessing on the land. The tithe was first paid, and then the blessing sought. I. SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE SHOULD BE THE PRELIMINARY OF SUPPLICATION FOR BLESSING , AND NOT CONDITIONED UPON IT . There is a temptation to... read more

Deuteronomy 26:15. Look down from thy holy habitation Though God was pleased to dwell among them, by a glorious symbol of his presence, yet Moses well knew, and hereby teaches the Israelites to acknowledge, that he dwelt in more transcendent glory in the heavens, which all nations have believed to be the throne and peculiar habitation of the omnipresent God. And bless thy people Thus, after that solemn profession of their obedience to God’s commands, they were taught to pray for God’s... read more
