Commentary on Deuteronomy 12:7

Theological / Devotional

Ye shall eat. That is, the sacrificial feasts (see Exodus 18:12).

Before the Lord. The priests ate within the precincts of the sanctuary (Numbers 18:10), but the people might eat only near the tabernacle, and in that respect in God’s presence (Exodus 18:12; 24:11; Deuteronomy 27:6, 7).

Ye shall rejoice. To “rejoice” before the Lord is an endless theme in the Scriptures (Leviticus 23:40; Deuteronomy 16:11, 14; 27:7; Psalm 32:11; 97:12). God in return rejoices over His people (Zephaniah 3:14-17).
