the appointed-times

Rootעת (ʿ-t)
Core Meaningstime, appointed time, season, occasion, fixed point
Semantic Rangeappointed times, seasons, significant moments, occasions, periods, eras, proper times for action
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, "appointed-times" often imply divinely ordered seasons or moments established by YHWH. The term underscores the belief that history and human activity unfold according to set times within God’s sovereign ordering of events.
Morphological NotesFeminine plural absolute noun (Ncbpa) with prefixed definite article (הַ־ > הָ־). Though the plural ending appears as -ים, עֵת is grammatically feminine; here it is in the definite plural form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵת denotes a fixed or appointed point in time, not merely abstract duration. The form הָעִתִּים is feminine plural absolute with the definite article, so the rendering "the appointed-times" preserves both the plural number and the definite sense while reflecting the root idea of set or fitting times.
