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 you must declare in the presence of the LORD your God, ‘I have taken the sacred gift from my house and have given it to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, just as you commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten any of your commands.

14 I have not eaten any of it while in mourning; I have not handled it while I was ceremonially unclean; and I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God and have done everything you commanded me.

15 Now look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you swore to our ancestors to give us—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

16 “Today the LORD your God has commanded you to obey all these decrees and regulations. So be careful to obey them wholeheartedly.

17 You have declared today that the LORD is your God. And you have promised to walk in his ways, and to obey his decrees, commands, and regulations, and to do everything he tells you.
