the appointed meeting
| Root | יעד (y-ʿ-d) |
| Core Meanings | to appoint, fix, designate, assign, meet by prior arrangement |
| Semantic Range | appointed time, fixed season, festival, solemn assembly, designated meeting, place of meeting, congregation |
| Conceptual Significance | מוֹעֵד is central to Israel’s sacred calendar and worship, referring to divinely appointed times and gatherings established by YHWH. It emphasizes that sacred times and assemblies are not human inventions but divinely designated encounters between God and His people. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ); no pronominal suffix; functions as a definite substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מוֹעֵד derives from the root יעד, meaning to appoint or designate a set meeting. As a masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the"), הַמּוֹעֵד is best rendered "the appointed meeting," preserving both the idea of a fixed time and a convened gathering inherent in the root. |
