| III.V, Against
Marcion, Tertullian
(c. 209) |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Signifying that God does not
give us goods for ourselves only, but to be used also by those who
are committed to our charge." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "When God has made good his
promises to us, he expects we should own it to the honour of his
faithfulness. And our creature comforts are doubly sweet, when we
see them flowing from the fountain of the promise." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "It is the will of God, that
we should be chearful not only in our attendance upon his holy
ordinances, but in our enjoyment of the gifts of his providence.
Whatever good thing God gives us, we should make the most
comfortable use of it we can, still tracing the streams to the
fountain of all consolation." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The ancestors of the Hebrews
were nomad shepherds, either Syrians by birth as Abraham, or by long
residence as Jacob. When they were established as a nation in the
possession of the promised land, they were indebted to God's
unmerited goodness for their distinguished privileges, and in token
of gratitude they brought this basket of first-fruits." |

| "We have the right, indeed the responsibility, to
address our contemporary questions to Scripture and, if necessary,
determine that there are some things in Scripture that are no longer
consistent with our experience of God and his word and which are not to be
slavishly followed." |

Online Monthly's Topic of the Month, "Seven."
| "The specific emphasis on
these seven species and not on other crops becomes readily understandable because it is
woven into the description of the land of Israel — a description that is meant to be
the setting for the warning to obey God's commandments." |
