The Lord said to Moses. The appointed festivals of the covenant calendar — the moedim, the appointed times — are addressed as a unified system. The festivals are the covenant community's liturgical calendar: the structured rhythm of holy times that shapes the community's experience of the year. The word moedim comes from the root to meet or to appoint — these are the appointed times for meeting with God. The festival calendar is not a cultural tradition or a national holiday system but the covenant community's structured encounter with the God who appointed the times.
