Chapter 26

5 "And you shall make response before the LORD your God, 'A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. [Deu 26:5 ESV]

A wandering Aramean.  A Bedouin in today's terms.  From this God made a nation.  Never heard Jacob described as a wandering Aramean.  NKJV and KJV say Syrian.  NASB says Aramean.  ASV says Syrian, and so on. 

2023 - It is not about Jacob.  It goes back at least to Abraham, and very likely to Abraham's father, who left his home and wandered up to Ur of the Chaldees.

A tithe of produce was given every three years, and was sustenance to sojourners (immigrants), widows and the fatherless.  The tithe was apparently brought to the temple, and then distributed from there?  (Second time, no, this third and sixth year tithe was kept within the towns, and used to support the needy in each place.  The tither in these years swears that he took none of this tithe for himself, but gave it as required to the needy, rather than taking it to the Temple and offering it there.)  Wonder if they dried it first or otherwise preserved it so that it could be dispensed over the coming years, until the next tithe of produce was due?  A good way to do things, unless the priests doing the distribution become corrupt.

19 and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honor high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised." [Deu 26:19 ESV]

The place Israel occupies in God's design.  A people holy.

And this is the end of Moses' address to the people.  The second of three in the book as I recall...but that could be easily checked.  At any rate, a speech ends here.
