Deuteronomy 26:4

4 suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu eius ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui

Deuteronomy 26:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 26:4

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand
To wave it, as Jarchi says, putting his hand under the hand of the owner, and so waving it; and this being waved to and fro towards the several corners of the earth, was an acknowledgment of the Lord being the proprietor of it:

and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God;
that it might have some appearance of a sacrifice, and be a fit emblem of the spiritual sacrifice of praise, which is accepted upon the altar Christ, which sanctifies every gift.

Deuteronomy 26:4 In-Context

2 tolles de cunctis frugibus primitias et pones in cartallo pergesque ad locum quem Dominus Deus tuus elegerit ut ibi invocetur nomen eius

3 accedesque ad sacerdotem qui fuerit in diebus illis et dices ad eum profiteor hodie coram Domino Deo tuo quod ingressus sim terram pro qua iuravit patribus nostris ut daret eam nobis

4 suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu eius ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui

5 et loqueris in conspectu Domini Dei tui Syrus persequebatur patrem meum qui descendit in Aegyptum et ibi peregrinatus est in paucissimo numero crevitque in gentem magnam et robustam et infinitae multitudinis

6 adflixeruntque nos Aegyptii et persecuti sunt inponentes onera gravissima
