Deuteronomy 16:11

11 Be filled with joy in the sight of the LORD your God. Be joyful at the special place he will choose for his Name. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites who are living in your towns. So should the outsiders and widows who are living among you. And so should the children whose fathers have died.

Deuteronomy 16:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:11

And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God
Make a liberal feast, and keep it cheerfully, in the presence of God, in the place where he resides, thankfully acknowledging all his mercies and favours:

thou, and thy son, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
Levite that is within thy gates;
that dwelt in the same city, who were all to come with him to Jerusalem at this feast, and to partake of it with him:

and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among
you, in the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to place his
name there;
who should be at Jerusalem at this time.
