Ye shall eat.

That is, the sacrificial feasts (see Ex. 18:12).

Ye shall rejoice.

To “rejoice” before the Lord is an endless theme in the Scriptures (Lev. 23:40; Deut. 16:11, 14; 27:7; Ps. 32:11; 97:12). God in return rejoices over His people (Zeph. 3:14-17).

Before the Lord.

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