DEUTERONOMY 12:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.”
Instead, you are to eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose — you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levites in your towns — and you are to rejoice before the LORD your God in all you undertake — the covenant meal at the central sanctuary becomes the occasion for inclusive joy. The reiteration of servants and Levites emphasizes their essential inclusion.
