Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 22:25-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Exodus 22:29

The first — born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me — And much more reason have we to give ourselves and all we have to God, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all. The first ripe of their corn they must not delay to offer; there is danger if we delay our duty, lest we wholly omit it; and by slipping the first opportunity in expectation of another, we suffer Satan to cheat us of all our time.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Exodus 22:29

Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the (k) first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

(k) Your abundance of your corn.
