Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 26:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2. Thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth —The Israelites in Canaan, being God's tenants-at-will, were required to give Him tribute in the form of first-fruits and tithes. No Israelite was at liberty to use any productions of his field until he had presented the required offerings. The tribute began to be exigible after the settlement in the promised land, and it was yearly repeated at one of the great feasts ( Leviticus 2:14 ; Leviticus 23:10 ; Leviticus 23:15 ; Numbers 28:26 ; Deuteronomy 16:9 ). Every master of a family carried it on his shoulders in a little basket of osier, peeled willow, or palm leaves, and brought it to the sanctuary. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
