12 And YOU must rejoice before Jehovah YOUR God,+ YOU and YOUR sons and YOUR daughters and YOUR man slaves and YOUR slave girls and the Levite who is inside YOUR gates,* because he has no share or inheritance with YOU.+

10 And he went on to say to them: “Go, eat the fatty things and drink the sweet things, and send portions+ to the one for whom nothing has been prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord,* and do not feel hurt, for the joy of Jehovah is YOUR stronghold.”

4 Always rejoice in [the] Lord.*+ Once more I will say, Rejoice!+
