Notes from Deut 26

With this chapter Moses concludes the particular statutes which he thought fit to give Israel in charge at his parting with them; what follows is by way of sanction and ratification. In this chapter,

I. Moses gives them a form of confession to be made by him that offered the basket of his first-fruits (v. 1-11).
II. The protestation and prayer to be made after the disposal of the third year's tithe (v. 12-15).
III. He binds on all the precepts he had given them,
1. By the divine authority: "Not I, but the Lord thy God has commanded thee to do these statutes' (v. 16).
2. By the mutual covenant between God and them (v. 17, etc.).
