SCRIPTURE

"and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there." — Deuteronomy 16:11 (ASV)

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your 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:

you, and your son, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the
Levite that is within your 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 your God has chosen to place his
name there ;
who should be at Jerusalem at this time.
