Deuteronomio 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.

Deuteronomio 26:16 In-Context

14 Mientras estuve de luto, no comí nada de esta porción consagrada; mientras estuve impuro, no tomé nada de ella ni se la ofrecí a los muertos. SEÑOR mi Dios, yo te he obedecido y he hecho todo lo que me mandaste.

15 Mira desde el cielo, desde el santo lugar donde resides y, tal como se lo juraste a nuestros antepasados, bendice a tu pueblo Israel y a la tierra que nos has dado, tierra donde abundan la leche y la miel”.

16 »Hoy el SEÑOR tu Dios te manda obedecer estos preceptos y normas. Pon todo lo que esté de tu parte para practicarlos con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.

17 Hoy has declarado que el SEÑOR es tu Dios y que andarás en sus caminos, que prestarás oído a su voz y que cumplirás sus preceptos, mandamientos y normas.

18 Por su parte, hoy mismo el SEÑOR ha declarado que tú eres su pueblo, su posesión preciosa, tal como lo prometió. Obedece, pues, todos sus mandamientos.
