Deuteronomy 14
Directions, concerning mourning, ver. 1, 2. Concerning clean
and unclean meats, ver. 3-21. Concerning tithes, ver. 29.
Verse 1. Of the Lord - Whom therefore you must not disparage by
unworthy or unbecoming practices. Ye shall not cut yourselves -
Which were the practices of idolaters, both in the worship of their
idols, in their funerals, and upon occasion of public calamities. Is
not this like a parent's charge to his little children, playing with
knives, "Do not cut yourselves!" This is, the intention of those
commands, which obliges us to deny ourselves. The meaning is,
Do yourselves no harm! And as this also is, the design of cross
providences, to remove from us those things by which we are in
danger of doing ourselves harm.
Verse 3. Abominable - Unclean and forbidden by me, which therefore
should be abominable to you.
Verse 22. All the increase - This is to be understood of the second tithes,
which seem to be the same with the tithes of the first year,
mentioned ver. 28.
Verse 25. In thine hand - That is, in a bag to be taken into thy hand and
carried with thee.
Verse 27. Thou shalt not forsake him - Thou shalt give him a share in
such tithes or in the product of them.
Verse 28. At the end of three years - That is, in the third year, as it is,
expressed, chap. xxvi, 12. The same year - This is added to shew
that he speaks of the third year, and not of the fourth year, as
some might conjecture from the phrase, at the end of three years.
