Deuteronomy 26:1
繁體中文
英語原文
Two liturgical enactments having a clear and close reference to the whole of the preceding legislation, form a most appropriate and significant conclusion to it, namely,
(1) the formal acknowledgment in deed and symbol of God's faithfulness, by presentment of a basket filled with firstfruits, and in word by recitation of the solemn formula prescribed in Deuteronomy 26:3, Deuteronomy 26:5-10; and
(2) the solemn declaration and profession on the part of each Israelite on the occasion of the third tithe Deuteronomy 26:12.

Deuteronomy 26:2
繁體中文
關於初熟之物的主題，見 Leviticus 23:9 及以下的註釋。這裡所論的初熟之物，既當與逾越節和五旬節時為感謝收成之福而獻的初熟之物（比較 Exodus 22:29）分別，也當與 Numbers 18:8 及以下所規定的供物分別。後者由地上出產的加工品組成，如油、細麵、酒等；而這裡所指的，是未經加工的出產。前者是全民性、公共性的供物，本章的則是私人、個人的供物。初熟之物的全部，歸屬於司禮的祭司。
英語原文
On the subject of firstfruits see the notes at Leviticus 23:9 ff. The firstfruits here in question are to be distinguished alike from those offered in acknowledgment of the blessings of harvest (compare Exodus 22:29) at the Feasts of Passover and Pentecost, and also from the offerings prescribed in Numbers 18:8 ff. The latter consisted of preparations from the produce of the earth, such as oil, flour, wine, etc.; while those here meant are the raw produce: the former were national and public offerings, those of this chapter were private and personal. The whole of the firstfruits belonged to the officiating priest.

Deuteronomy 26:5
繁體中文
我祖原是一個將亡的亞蘭人——文脈表明，這話所指的乃是雅各，因為亞伯拉罕的家族正是在他身上，特別開始發展為一個民族（比較 Isaiah 43:22、Isaiah 43:28 等）。雅各被稱為敘利亞人（字面作「亞蘭人」），不僅是因為他自己曾長期寄居亞蘭、與拉班同處（Genesis 29-31），猶如我們的主因住在拿撒勒而被稱為拿撒勒人（Matthew 2:23），更是因為他在那裏娶妻生子（比較 Hosea 12:12）；因此可以說，與任何別的地方相比，他更是屬於那地的。
英語原文
A Syrian ready to perish was my father - The reference is shown by the context to be to Jacob, as the ancestor in whom particularly the family of Abraham began to develop into a nation (compare Isaiah 43:22, Isaiah 43:28, etc.). Jacob is called a Syrian (literally, Aramaean), not only because of his own long residence in Syria with Laban Genesis 29-31, as our Lord was called a Nazarene because of his residence at Nazareth Matthew 2:23, but because he there married and had his children (compare Hosea 12:12); and might be said accordingly to belong to that more than to any other land.

Deuteronomy 26:12
繁體中文
見指向民數記的旁註參考及其註釋。嚴格履行繁重而複雜的十分之一義務，是法利賽人之義的主要部分；參 Matthew 23:23。
英語原文
See the marginal reference to Numbers and note. A strict fulfillment of the onerous and complicated tithe obligations was a leading part of the righteousness of the Pharisees: compare Matthew 23:23.
14
Deuteronomy 26:14
繁體中文
我守喪的時候沒有吃這聖物——因為在那種時候，以色列人必成為不潔（比較邊註所引的參考經文）。
又沒有為死人送去——這裏所指的，與其說是把食物放在墓上或墓中的迷信風俗，不如說是喪葬的費用，尤其是為弔喪的人擺設的通常筵席（比較耶利米書 16:7；以西結書 24:17；何西阿書 9:4；多比傳 4:17）。分別為聖之物當用於喜樂而聖潔的宴樂，故不可用於喪筵；因為死亡以及與死亡相連的一切，都被視為不潔。
英語原文
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning - When the Israelite would be unclean (compare the marginal references).
Nor given ought thereof for the dead - The reference is not so much to the superstitious custom of placing food on or in tombs as to the funeral expenses, and more especially the usual feast for the mourners (compare Jeremiah 16:7; Ezekiel 24:17; Hosea 9:4; Tobit 4:17). The dedicated things were to be employed in glad and holy feasting, not therefore for funeral banquets; for death and all associated with it was regarded as unclean.

Deuteronomy 26:16
繁體中文
這是以勸勉的形式，為本書第二篇（也是最長的一篇）講論所作的簡短而懇切的結語。
英語原文
A brief and earnest exhortation by way of conclusion to the second and longest discourse of the book.
17
Deuteronomy 26:17
繁體中文
你今日認耶和華為你的神——按字面是「使…說」的意思，下一節也是如此。其意義是：「你使主有根據說祂是你的神」，也就是藉著應許祂必作你的神而如此行。比較出 24:7；書 24:14-25。
英語原文
Thou hast avouched - literally, "made to say:" so also in the next verse. The sense is: "Thou hast given occasion to the Lord to say that He is thy God," i. e. by promising that He shall be so. Compare Exodus 24:7; Joshua 24:14-25,
兩項與前述全部立法有明確而密切關聯的禮儀性規定，構成這立法極其恰切而意義深長的結語，即：
（1）藉著獻上盛滿初熟出產的籃子，以行動與象徵正式承認神的信實；並藉著誦讀 Deuteronomy 26:3、Deuteronomy 26:5-10 所規定的莊嚴套語，以言語承認；
（2）在十分取一之年的時候，各以色列人所作的莊嚴宣告與認信（Deuteronomy 26:12）。
