Deuteronomy12:7
7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoyce in all that ye put your hand unto , ye and your housholds, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
Not in the most holy place, wherein onely the Priests might eat, Numb. 18. 10. but more generally in places allowed to the people for this end, in the holy city.
To wit, your part of the things mentioned ver. 6.
(i. e.) In the place of Gods presence, where Gods Sanctuary shall be.
Either to bestow your pains and labour upon it: or, to take and use or enjoy it. The sence is, You thus doing shall be blessed and enabled to rejoyce or to take comfort in all your labours and enjoyments, which otherwise would be accursed to you. We have the same phrase below ver. 18. and Deut. 15. 10.
