申命記第26章主要講述以色列人進入應許之地後，如何以感恩和順服的心回應神的恩典，包括奉獻初熟土產、三年一次的什一奉獻，以及與神立約成為聖潔子民。
章節描述與結構
本章可分為三大部分：
- 奉獻初熟的土產（1–11節）
當百姓進入並定居在神所賜的地後，必須從各種初熟土產中取些來，盛在筐子裡，帶到神所選擇立祂名的居所（聖所）。祭司會接過筐子放在壇前。獻上時，要在神面前宣告以色列的歷史：祖先原是「將亡的亞蘭人」（指雅各），下到埃及寄居，人口稀少卻成為大國；埃及人苦待他們，他們哀求神，神用大能的手和神蹟奇事領他們出埃及，把他們帶進流奶與蜜之地。最後把初熟土產奉上，向神下拜，並與利未人、寄居者一同歡樂，因神所賜的一切福分而感恩。 - 每三年的什一奉獻（12–15節）
每逢第三年（十分取一之年），要把土產的十分之一分給利未人、寄居的、孤兒和寡婦，使他們在城中吃得飽足。之後要在神面前宣告自己已照命令將聖物拿出、沒有違背或忘記誡命，並祈求神從天上聖所垂看，賜福給以色列百姓和流奶與蜜之地。 - 立約成為聖潔的子民（16–19節）
神今日吩咐這些律例典章，百姓要盡心盡性謹守遵行。百姓今日認耶和華為神，應許遵行祂的道、謹守律例誡命。神也認他們為祂的子民，使他們得稱讚、美名、尊榮，超乎萬民之上，並成為歸耶和華為聖潔的民。
整章強調感恩、記念神的救贖歷史、照顧弱勢，以及與神立約的相互承諾。它提醒人一切福分來自神，回應應是順服、分享與喜樂，而非自誇。
重要經文（和合本）
- 26:5–9（歷史告白的核心）：「我祖原是一個將亡的亞蘭人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那裏卻成了又大又強、人數很多的國民。埃及人惡待我們，苦害我們，將苦工加在我們身上。於是我們哀求耶和華－我們列祖的神，耶和華聽見我們的聲音，看見我們所受的困苦、勞碌、欺壓，他就用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，並大可畏的事與神蹟奇事，領我們出了埃及，將我們領進這地方，把這流奶與蜜之地賜給我們。」
（這段濃縮了以色列的救贖故事，成為感恩的根基。） - 26:10–11：「耶和華啊，現在我把你所賜給我地上初熟的土產奉了來。…你和利未人，並在你們中間寄居的，要因耶和華－你神所賜你和你家的一切福分歡樂。」
（感恩與分享的實踐。） - 26:15：「求你從天上、你的聖所垂看，賜福給你的百姓以色列與你所賜給我們的地，就是你向我們列祖起誓賜我們流奶與蜜之地。」
（祈求祝福的禱告。） - 26:16–19（立約高潮）：「耶和華－你的神今日吩咐你行這些律例典章，所以你要盡心盡性謹守遵行。你今日認耶和華為你的神，應許遵行他的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章，聽從他的話。耶和華今日照他所應許你的，也認你為他的子民，使你謹守他的一切誡命，又使你得稱讚、美名、尊榮，超乎他所造的萬民之上，並照他所應許的使你歸耶和華－你神為聖潔的民。」
（相互承認與聖潔呼召。）
禱告
親愛的天父、全能的耶和華神，
感謝祢藉著申命記26章提醒我們：一切美善的恩賜都從祢而來。我們原是軟弱、流亡的人，卻因祢大能的手和奇妙的作為，被帶進豐盛之地。
求祢幫助我們記念祢的救贖歷史，把「初熟的土產」——我們生命中最好的部分——甘心奉上給祢，並與有需要的人分享。
求祢從天上的聖所垂看，賜福給我們和我們所居住的地，使我們在順服中歡樂。
今日我們也在祢面前承認：祢是我們的神，我們願盡心盡性遵行祢的道。求祢也認我們為祢的子民，使我們成為聖潔的群體，得稱讚、美名和尊榮，不是為自己，乃是為榮耀祢的名。
奉主耶穌基督的名求，阿們。

Deuteronomy chapter 26 mainly describes how, after the Israelites entered the Promised Land, they responded to God’s grace with gratitude and obedience, including offering firstfruits, the triennial tithing, and making a covenant with God to become holy people.
Chapter Description and Structure
This chapter can be divided into three main parts:
- Offering the Firstfruits (verses 1–11)
After the people entered and settled in the land God had given, they had to take some of the firstfruits from the various produce, put them in baskets, and bring them to the dwelling place God had chosen for His name (the sanctuary). The priests would take the baskets and place them before the altar. When presenting, they would declare Israel’s history before God: their ancestors were the “Arameans about to die” (referring to Jacob), who went down to Egypt to live as foreigners, became a great nation despite the small population; The Egyptians treated them harshly, pleading with God, and God led them out of Egypt with His mighty hand and miracles, bringing them into a land flowing with milk and honey. Finally, they offered the firstfruits, bowed to God, and rejoiced with the Levites and the foreigners, giving thanks for all the blessings God had given. - The tithe every three years (verses 12–15) Every third
year (the year of the tithe), a tithe of the produce must be given to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows so that they may have enough to eat in the city. Afterwards, they must declare before God that they have brought out the sacred objects as commanded, have not broken or forgotten the commandments, and pray that God will look down from the heavenly sanctuary to bless the Israelites and the land flowing with milk and honey - Establishing a Covenant to Become a Holy People (Verses 16–19)
Today, God commands these laws and ordinances that the people must keep and obey with all their heart and soul. Today, the people acknowledge the Lord as God, promising to follow His way and keep the laws and commandments. God also acknowledges them as His people, granting them praise, a good name, and honor, surpassing all nations and becoming a people who belong to the Lord as holy
The entire chapter emphasizes gratitude, remembering God’s redemptive history, caring for the vulnerable, and mutual commitment made with God. It reminds people that all blessings come from God, and that the response should be obedience, sharing, and joy, not boasting.
Important Scriptures
26:5–9 (The Core of the Historical Confession): “My ancestor was a man of Aramean who was about to die and went down to Egypt to live as a foreigner. He was sparsely populated, but there he became a great and powerful nation. The Egyptians treated us badly, harmed us, and put hard labor upon us. So we pleaded with the Lord, the God of our ancestors. The Lord heard our voice and saw our suffering, toil, and oppression. Then, with His mighty hand and outstretched arm, and with great things and wonders, He led us out of Egypt, into this land, and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.”
(This passage condenses Israel’s story of redemption and becomes the foundation of gratitude ）
- 26:10–11: “O Lord, now I present the firstfruits of the land that you have given me … You and the Levites, and those who live among you, rejoice in all the blessings that the Lord your God has given you and your household.”
(The practice of gratitude and sharing ） - 26:15: “Look out from heaven and your sanctuary, bless your people Israel and the land you have given us, the land you swore to our ancestors to give us milk and honey.”
(A prayer for blessings.) ） - 26:16–19 (Climax of the Covenant): “The Lord your God today commands you to carry out these statutes and ordinances, so you must keep them with all your heart and soul. Today you acknowledge the Lord as your God, promise to walk in His ways, keep His statutes, commandments, and statutes, and listen to His word. Today, according to what He has promised you, the Lord has also recognized you as His people, causing you to keep all His commandments, giving you praise, good name, and honor above all the nations He has created, and according to His promise, to the Lord your God as a holy people.”
(Mutual recognition and holy calling.) ）
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Almighty Jehovah God,
thank You for reminding us through Deuteronomy 26: All good gifts come from You. We were once weak and exiles, but through Your mighty hand and wonderful works, we have been brought into the land of abundance.
Help us remember Your redemptive history and willingly offer the “firstfruits”—the best parts of our lives—to You and share with those in need.
Please look down upon us from the heavenly sanctuary and bless us and the land where we live, so that we may rejoice in obedience.
Today, we also confess before You: You are our God, and we are willing to follow Your way with all our hearts and souls. Please also acknowledge us as Your people, making us a holy community, receiving praise, good names, and honor—not for ourselves, but for the glory of Your name.
I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen
