Deuteronomy 26:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 26:15

Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven
This is a prayer of the person that makes the above declaration annexed to it, desiring that God would vouchsafe to look with an eye of love, complacency, and delight, upon him and upon all his people, from heaven his holy habitation, though they were on earth, and unholy persons in themselves, and especially if compared with him; see ( Isaiah 57:15 ) ( 63:15 ) ;

and bless thy people Israel;
with blessings temporal and spiritual:

and the land which thou hast given us;
with fertility and plenty of all good things, that it might be

as thou swarest to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
(See Gill on Deuteronomy 26:9).

Deuteronomy 26:15 In-Context

13 Then say to the LORD your God: “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, according to all you commanded. I have not turned aside from your commands nor have I forgotten any of them.

14 I have not eaten any of the sacred portion while I was in mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor have I offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have done everything you commanded me.

15 Look down from heaven, your holy dwelling place, and bless your people Israel and the land you have given us as you promised on oath to our ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

16 The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 You have declared this day that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him.
