Deuteronomy 26:12

"You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you."

Key Reflection

This verse encourages a heart of gratitude, not just for personal blessings but also for the well-being of the community, including those in need such as the Levites and foreigners. It underscores the importance of sharing joy and prosperity with others, reflecting God’s generosity and calling his people to live out this joy through acts of kindness and inclusion.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

See the marginal reference to Numbers and note. A strict fulfillment of the onerous and complicated tithe obligations was a leading part of the righteousness of the Pharisees: compareMatthew 23:23.
