Deuteronomy 26:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 26:16

This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these
statutes and judgments
These are the words of Moses, as Aben Ezra rightly observes, and refer not only to the laws last mentioned, but to all others which he had repeated, or the Lord by him had ordered to be observed, recorded in this book: and though it is very probable Moses had been several days repeating former laws, and acquainting them with new ones; yet this being the last day, in which the whole account was finished, they are said to be commanded that day, and though commanded that day were to be observed and done every day; for, as Jarchi says, every day was to be considered and reckoned as new, as if on that day they were commanded them:

thou shall therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul;
cordially, readily, willingly, sincerely, constantly, and to the utmost of their abilities.

Deuteronomy 26:16 In-Context

14 I have not eaten any of it when I was mourning; I have not taken any of it out of my house when I was ritually unclean; and I have not given any of it as an offering for the dead. I have obeyed you, O Lord; I have done everything you commanded concerning the tithe.
15 Look down from your holy place in heaven and bless your people Israel; bless also the rich and fertile land that you have given us, as you promised our ancestors.'
16 "Today the Lord your God commands you to obey all his laws; so obey them faithfully with all your heart.
17 Today you have acknowledged the Lord as your God; you have promised to obey him, to keep all his laws, and to do all that he commands.
18 Today the Lord has accepted you as his own people, as he promised you; and he commands you to obey all his laws.
