But when ye go over Jordan

on Deuteronomy 12:10-12

Rest is defined here by what it removes, rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety, and only then does the place appear. Verse 12 lists who rejoices, and the list runs sons, daughters, menservants, maidservants and the Levite that is within your gates, which puts the household's servants inside the celebration. The reason attached to the Levite is that he hath no part nor inheritance with you, the arrangement set at Numbers 18:20-24, and the chapter returns to him at verses 18 and 19.
