Directing his speech not to the priest, but to the Lord himself; owning that the part of the land he had, and the fruits he enjoyed, were the gifts of God to him, and therefore, as in gratitude bound, brought him the firstfruits:<\/p>\n and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God<\/strong>; these are the words of Moses, or of the law, directing the man what further he had to do; and this, as Jarchi thinks, shows that he took it after the priest waved it, and laid hold on it with his hand while he was reading (his confession), turning and waving:<\/p>\n and worship before the Lord thy God<\/strong>; bow before him in a reverend and humble manner, sensible of his obligations to him, and dependence on him.<\/p>\n 10<\/strong>. <\/strong> And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God <\/strong> With this formula, which so impressively recalled Jehovah’s dealings with them as a people, and their reasons for thanksgiving, the basket, with its gifts, was to be set before the altar.<\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>10. <\/strong>Thou shalt set it before the Lord<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> i.e. Before the sanctuary where God was especially present. It appears from this, that the person who made the former profession held the basket in his hand during the time; which done, he set it before the altar, as at the first, ver. 4 and worshipped before the Lord; i.e.<\/em> as the Hebrew word imports, bowed his body towards the holy place: and, as this was a sign of inward worship, so, no doubt, it was accompanied, in all good men, with humble thanks to God for his benefits, and with prayers for the continuance of them. See Outram de Sacrif. l. i. c. 8. and Vossius de Idolol. l. ii. c. 79. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>We have here the ceremony and prayer prescribed at the offering of the first-fruits, when the offerer made the following profession and humble acknowledgment: 1. Of the faithfulness of God in giving them the land which he had promised to their fathers. Gratitude for his goodness is the tribute that God justly expects from us. 2. He confessed his own unworthiness of so great a mercy, as being sprung from ancestors of so ignoble an origin. The more unworthy we, the more is the divine grace magnified in our salvation. We cannot think too lowly of ourselves, nor too highly of God’s goodness. 3. He thankfully remembered the deliverance God wrought for them, and the happy land he had now brought them to. Note; <\/em>(1.) Past deliverances are never to be forgotten, especially those which God has wrought for our souls. (2.) Others’ mercies are our own, and we should be thankful for the blessings they enjoy in common with ourselves. 4. He then offered up the basket, as an acknowledgment due to the great Lord of the land, containing a little of the first and the best, and which sanctified the remainder to his own use. Note; <\/em>(1.) All our gifts of Providence must be acknowledged as coming from God’s hand. (2.) The prime of our life should be offered up to his service. (3.) Our earthly blessings will then be doubly sweet to us, when we receive and use them as coming to us from God’s mercy and love. 5. The service was concluded with other acts of solemn worship, and a feast of holy joy before the Lord. It was not so much the gift, as the gratitude of the offerer’s heart, which made the offering acceptable; and whilst God was honoured by this worship and service, the offerer should be happy and rejoice before him. <\/p>\n land.

This shows that the person offering this oblation was to hold the basket in his hand while he made the foregoing acknowledgment. And worship before the Lord Bowing his body, as the original word imports, toward the holy place, which external sign of inward worship, in all truly pious men, was accompanied with gratitude of heart to God for his benefits, and with prayer for their continuance. And thou shalt rejoice Thou shalt hereby be enabled to take comfort in all thy enjoyments, when thou hast sanctified them by giving God his portion. It is the will of God that we should be cheerful, not only in our attendance upon his holy ordinances, but in our enjoyment of the gifts of his providence. Whatever good thing God gives us, we should make the most comfortable use of it we can, still tracing the streams to the fountain of all consolation.<\/p>\n 26:10 And now, behold, I have {f} brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me.
