'Joy' in the Bible

Their neighbors came from as far away as the territories of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, bringing provisions loaded on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought abundant provisions of meal, fig bars, raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep, because there was joy in Israel.

Find joy in his holy name; let the hearts of those who keep on seeking the LORD rejoice.

Splendor and majesty surround him, and strength and joy fill his palace.

and they ate and drank in the LORD's presence with great joy.
