to the appointed-time

Rootיעד (y-ʿ-d)
Core Meaningsto appoint, fix, designate, assign, meet by appointment
Semantic Rangeappointed time, fixed season, set festival, designated assembly, meeting place, signal appointed beforehand
Conceptual Significanceמוֹעֵד structures Israel’s sacred calendar and communal life, marking divinely appointed times of meeting between יהוה and His people (e.g., festivals and the Tent of Meeting). It conveys the theology that sacred time and assembly are established by divine appointment rather than human initiative.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + masculine singular noun absolute מוֹעֵד (H4150). The form is definite and functions adverbially or prepositionally as "to/for the appointed-time."
Rendering RationaleThe noun מוֹעֵד derives from יעד, "to appoint" or "to fix by designation," and denotes a time or gathering set by prior appointment. The prefixed לַ ("to/for the") with the definite article and the masculine singular absolute form requires the rendering "to the appointed-time," preserving both the root idea of appointment and the singular, definite morphology.
