“These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”
These are the Lord's appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times. The restatement of the festival character before the specific festivals are named: the Lord's appointed festivals, proclaimed at their appointed times. The dual emphasis on appointment — the festivals are appointed, and they are proclaimed at appointed times — communicates the covenant community's calendrical accountability. Missing an appointed festival is not merely unfortunate; it is a failure to meet the divine appointment.
