申命記 16:11 註釋：Rashi, Ramban, Sforno & Tur HaArokh

לוי גר יתום ואלמנה THE LEVITE THE STRANGER, THE FATHERLESS, THE WIDOW — these four are Mine, corresponding to four that are yours, viz., בנך ובתך ועבדך ואמתך THY SON, THY DAUGHTER, THY MAN-SERVANT AND THY MAID-SERVANT; if you gladden Mine, I will gladden yours (Midrash Tanchuma, Re'eh 18).

He mentions here [that you are to rejoice] in the place which the Eternal thy G-d shall choose to cause His Name to dwell there,³⁵⁹Verse 11. and likewise he said, Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Eternal thy G-d in the place which He shall choose.³⁶⁰Verse 16. Now, I do not know whether this is to state that after the Sanctuary will be built we should not assemble to bring the festival-offerings except in that place which G-d has chosen, similar to what he said, Thou mayest not sacrifice the Passover-offering within any of thy gates,³⁶¹Verse 5. And as the following verse continues but at the place which the Eternal thy G-d shall choose etc. or that he is explaining here that they are not obligated to go up in pilgrimage on the festivals until such time as G-d will have chosen the place to dwell there.³⁶²This would thus exclude the periods of Shiloh, Nob, Gibeon — before the building of the Sanctuary in Jerusalem — when the people were not obligated by law of the Torah to go up in pilgrimage on the festivals.

והגר והיתום והאלמנה, they shall rejoice on the festival of cutting (the wheat). Their rejoicing will take the form of their collecting the portions of this harvest set aside for them by the Torah, i.e. the פאה, corner of the field with standing grain; the gleanings, what the farmer had overlooked, etc. These have been enumerated in connection with the festival in Leviticus 23,22.
