7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
7 And you shall cook it and eat it at the place that the Lord your God will choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
7 Boil and eat it at the place designated by God, your God. Then, at daybreak, turn around and go home.
7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
7 Roast the lamb and eat it in the place the Lord your God chooses. Then you may go back to your tents the next morning.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:7
Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:1-17
(Read Deuteronomy 16:1-17)
The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the general law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forget his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price it cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingled 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 law 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, may rejoice in hope, for He is faithful that has promised.
