כִּ֛י לֹא־יֶחְדַּ֥ל אֶבְי֖וֹן מִקֶּ֣רֶב הָאָ֑רֶץ עַל־כֵּ֞ן אָנֹכִ֤י מְצַוְּךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר פָּ֠תֹחַ תִּפְתַּ֨ח אֶת־יָדְךָ֜ לְאָחִ֧יךָ לַעֲנִיֶּ֛ךָ וּלְאֶבְיֹנְךָ֖ בְּאַרְצֶֽךָ׃ (ס)
Sapagkat hindi kailanman mawawalan ng dukha sa lupain; kaya iniuutos ko sa iyo, na sinasabi: “Buksan mo nang lubos ang iyong kamay sa iyong kapatid, sa iyong mahirap at sa iyong dukha sa iyong lupain.”

I found in the name of the author of the [Sefer] HaYereim, may his memory be blessed: We learn from here that a person is obligated on the holiday to engage in any proper enjoyment and any joyful thing which makes him rejoice; with anything from which his heart derives joy and bliss, like eating, drinking and strolling. So a person is obligated to do everything that makes him rejoice. And just like he is obligated to make himself rejoice; so too is he obligated to make his sons, his daughters and his household rejoice, as it is stated (Deuteronomy 16:14), "You are to rejoice during your festival - you, your son and your daughter." And just like he is obligated to make his sons, his daughters and his household rejoice; so too is he obligated to make others rejoice with him, as it is stated (Deuteronomy 16:11), "and the Levite who is in your city, the stranger, the orphan and the widow who are among you." The Holy One, blessed be He, said, "You have four [types of] residents - your son, your daughter, your slave and your maidservant. If you make mine rejoice, I will make yours rejoice." And likewise Ezra says (Nehemiah 8:10), "Go, eat choice foods and drink sweet drinks and send portions to whoever has nothing prepared for himself." To here are his [words].
