Commentary on Exodus 34:26

Theological / Devotional

The first of the firstfruits. The best insurance against falling into idolatry was to be continuing participation in the spirit and practice of true worship as prescribed by God. Faithful and proper regard for the Sabbath, the great annual festivals, the laws of redemption, the various sacrifices, and similar institutions ordained to lead to spiritual consecration would protect them from the temptations and dangers of heathenism they would encounter in the Land of Promise.

Shalt not seethe. See on ch. 23:19. The closing part of this section is parallel to the last section in the “book of the covenant” (ch. 23:19).
