John Trapp Complete Commentary

Deuteronomy 26:13

Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:

Ver. 13. I have not transgressed.] This is spoken, not by way of Pharisaical boasting or opinion of merit, but public testification of entire obedience.
