Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) The first of thy ripe fruits.--Heb., of thy fulness. "Firstfruits" were the spontaneous tribute of natural piety among almost all nations. They were called by the Greeks ???????, by the Romans primitive. Abel's offering (Genesis 4:4) was one of the "firstlings of his flock," and Cain's probably one of firstfruits. In the present passage it is assumed that firstfruits are due, and the stress is laid upon offering them promptly, without "delay." Delay would show a grudging spirit.Of thy liquors.--As wine and oil. (Compare Nehemiah 10:37; Nehemiah 10:39.)The firstborn of thy sons.--See the Note on Exodus 13:2; and on the means of redeeming firstborn sons, see Exodus 13:13, and Num. 17:15, 16. . . .
