Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersDeuteronomy 26:16-19. CLOSE OF THE EXHORTATION.(16) This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.--These words are not to be taken as part of the service described in the previous verses, but as the words of Moses in bringing his exhortation to a close. Rashi says, "Every day these commandments shall be new before thine eyes, as though on that very day thou hadst received them."Thou shalt therefore keep and do them.--It is a beautiful thought that the form of this command (as of many others) makes it prophetic of its own fulfilment. "It is the voice from heaven blessing thee," says Rashi. (See also Deuteronomy 30:6; Deuteronomy 30:8.)(17, 18) Thou hast avouched . . . and the Lord hath avouched.--The Hebrew word is simply the ordinary word for "to say." "Thou hast said," and "He hath said." There is no distinctive word for "to promise" in Hebrew. "To say" is sufficient. "Hath He said, and shall He not do it?" "Let your yea be yea, and your nay nay," like His. But Rashi says there is no exact parallel to this use of the verb in the Old Testament, except, perhaps, in Psalm 94:4, where it means, "they boast themselves." Let Israel boast in God, and God will boast Himself of them, as His peculiar people.(19) And to make thee high.--Literally, most high; Heb., 'Elyon, a well-known name of God. Here, and in Deuteronomy 28:1, it is (prophetically and in the Divine purpose) applied to Israel. "Thou shalt put my Name upon the children of Israel" was the law of blessing for the priests (Numbers 6:27). . . .
