SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:13
Y dirás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios: Yo he sacado lo consagrado de mi casa, y también lo he dado al levita, y al extranjero, y al huérfano, y a la viuda, conforme a todos tus mandamientos que me mandaste; no he pasado de tus mandamientos, ni me he olvidado de ellos .
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God , etc.] 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 at this time to be separated from a man’s own common goods, and applied to the purposes for which they were designed and devoted, and particularly what was to be given to the poor: and also have, given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me ; giving to each according as the law directs; which the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi interpret as before, giving the first tithe to the Levites, and the second tithe to the rest: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them] : neither broken them wilfully, nor omitted them through carelessness, negligence, and forgetfulness, but was mindful to observe them punctually and exactly.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-15 - How should the earth yield its increase, or, if it does, what comfor can we take in it, unless therewith our God gives us his blessing? All this represented the covenant relation between a reconciled God an every true believer, and the privileges and duties belonging to it. We must be watchful, and show that according to the covenant of grace in Christ Jesus, the Lord is our God, and we are his people, waiting in his appointed way for the performance of his gracious promises.
