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:

you, in the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to place his
name there;
who should be at Jerusalem at this time.
