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 taken out of my house the part of my harvest that belongs to God, and I have given it to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows. I have done everything you commanded me; I have not broken your commands, and I have not forgotten any of them.

14 I have not eaten any of the holy part while I was in sorrow. I have not removed any of it while I was unclean, and I have not offered it for dead people. I have obeyed you, the Lord my God, and have done everything you commanded me.

15 So look down from heaven, your holy home. Bless your people Israel and bless the land you have given us, which you promised to our ancestors -- a fertile land."

16 Today the Lord your God commands you to obey all these rules and laws; be careful to obey them with your whole being.

17 Today you have said that the Lord is your God, and you have promised to do what he wants you to do -- to keep his rules, commands, and laws. You have said you will obey him.
