But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

But thou must eat {H398} them before {H6440} the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} in the place {H4725} which the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} shall choose {H977}, thou, and thy son {H1121}, and thy daughter {H1323}, and thy manservant {H5650}, and thy maidservant {H519}, and the Levite {H3881} that is within thy gates {H8179}: and thou shalt rejoice {H8055} before {H6440} the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} in all that thou puttest {H4916} thine hands {H3027} unto.

No, you are to eat these in the presence of ADONAI your God in the place ADONAI your God will choose -you and your sons, daughters, male and female slaves, and the Levi who is your guest; and you are to rejoice before ADONAI your God in everything you undertake to do.

Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,

but thou shalt eat them before Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
