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.
