Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 26:12-15.


Deuteronomy 26:14

_ _ I have not eaten thereof in my mourning — in a season of sorrow, which brought defilement on sacred things; under a pretense of poverty, and grudging to give any away to the poor.

_ _ neither ... for any unclean use — that is, any common purpose, different from what God had appointed and which would have been a desecration of it.

_ _ nor given ought thereof for the dead — on any funeral service, or, to an idol, which is a dead thing.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 26:12-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 26:14

In my mourning — In sorrow, or grieving that I was to give away so much of my profits to the poor, but I have chearfully eaten and feasted with them, as I was obliged to do. Unclean use — For any common use; for any other use than that which thou hast appointed, which would have been a pollution of them. For the dead — For any funeral pomp or service; for the Jews used to send in provisions to feast with the nearest relations of the party deceased; and in that case both the guests and food were legally polluted, Numbers 19:11, Numbers 19:14, and therefore the use of these tithes in such cases had been a double fault, both the defiling of sacred food, and the employing those provisions upon sorrowful occasions, which by God's express command were to be eaten with rejoicing.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Deuteronomy 26:14

I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought] thereof for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, [and] have done (m) according to all that thou hast commanded me.

(m) As far as my sinful nature would allow: or else as David and Paul say, there is not one just, (Psalms 14:3; Romans 3:10).
