SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:26
y darás el dinero por todo lo que deseare tu alma, por vacas, o por ovejas, o por vino, o por sidra, o por cualquier cosa que tu alma te demandare; y comerás allí delante del SEÑOR tu Dios, y te alegrarás tú y tu casa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:26
Verse 26. Or for strong drink] What the sikera or strong drink of the Hebrews was, see in the note on "Lev. x. 9". This one verse sufficiently shows that the Mosaic law made ample provision for the comfort and happiness of the people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And thou shall bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after , etc.] He might buy what provision he would with it, what he best liked, and was most agreeable to his appetite: for oxen, or for sheep ; he might purchase beef or mutton, or any other sort of meat that could be got, and was lawful to be eaten, as before directed: or for wine, or for strong drink ; to drink with his food, whether wine or any other liquor; the Targum of Jonathan is, wine new or old, which he chose; but the latter, strong drink, Aben Ezra says, was a liquor made of honey and of dates, of wheat and of barley: or for whatsoever thy soul desireth ; whether eatable or drinkable: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God ; he having put his name in that place; and dwelling there, as the Lord did in the temple of Jerusalem: and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household ; eat their food with cheerfulness and gladness, making a feast of it and keeping it as such, he and his whole family, his wife and children, or as many as were with him; and all males were obliged to appear at the three grand yearly festivals, and it was at one of these this was to be done.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-29 - A second portion from the produce of their land was required. The whol appointment evidently was against the covetousness, distrust, an selfishness of the human heart. It promoted friendliness, liberality and cheerfulness, and raised a fund for the relief of the poor. The were taught that their worldly portion was most comfortably enjoyed when shared with their brethren who were in want. If we thus serve God and do good with what we have, it is promised that the Lord our God will bless us in all the works of our land. The blessing of God is all to our outward prosperity; and without that blessing, the work of ou hands will bring nothing to pass. The blessing descends upon the working hand. Expect not that God should bless thee in thy idleness an love of ease. And it descends upon the giving hand. He who thu scatters, certainly increases; and to be free and generous in the support of religion, and any good work, is the surest and safest way of thriving __________________________________________________________________
