SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:14
Y te alegrarás en tu fiesta solemne, tú, y tu hijo, y tu hija, y tu siervo, y tu sierva, y el levita, y el extranjero, y el huérfano, y la viuda, que están en tus poblaciones.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast , etc.] At this feast of tabernacles and ingathering of the fruits of the earth, in token of gratitude and thankfulness for the goodness of God bestowed on them; the Targum of Jonathan adds, with the flute and the pipe, making use of instrumental music to increase the joy on this occasion: thou and thy son , etc. (See Gill on “ Deuteronomy 16:11”) Ver. 15 . Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God , etc.] The feast of tabernacles still spoken of: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose : the city of Jerusalem: because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thine hands ; both in the increase of their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, and also in their several handicraft trades and occupations they were employed in; so Aben Ezra interprets all the works of their hands of merchandise and manufactories: therefore thou shalt surely rejoice ; extremely, heartily, and sincerely, and not fail to express joy on this occasion, and manifest it by a generous freewill offering to the Lord, and a bountiful entertainment for himself, his family, friends, and others.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-17 - The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the genera law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forge his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price i cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingle with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the la must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comforting the mourners and supplying those who are in want. All who make God their joy, ma rejoice in hope, for He is faithful that has promised.
