At that time Joshua built an altar to YHWH, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal, just as Moses the servant of had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, “an altar of uncut stones, upon which no man has wielded an iron tool.” And they offered on it burnt offerings to YHWH and sacrificed peace offerings.
Joshua 8:30-31

Joshua had already given God what was required. The sacrifices he offered were more than required. It never hurts to give God more than what he asks.

I'm on my second cup of coffee today. Since I gave up Coke and Pepsi, coffee has been my go to treat drink.

Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is coming up soon. Just curious how everyone observes this set-apart day and what kind of food will be on the menu ?

A #chiasm in #deuteronomy 26:1-2 is centered on the firstfuits offering and bracketed by gratitude toward the God who made the offering possible.

.When you come into the land
...YHWH gave you
.....You have taken the land
.......Firstfruit of the ground
.....You harvest the land
...YHWH is giving you
.Take to the place in the land

This passage is also the first part of an overlapping parallelism that extends through v4:

.v1-2 - When you come in
...Firstfruits in a basket
......Go to the place YHWH will put his name
.v3-4 - I have come in
...Priest takes the basket
......Set the basket before the altar of YHWH
