the appointed assembly
| Root | יעד (y-ʿ-d) |
| Core Meanings | appoint, fix, designate, set time, meet by appointment |
| Semantic Range | assembly, congregation, community, company, gathered multitude, the covenant community of Israel |
| Conceptual Significance | עֵדָה often designates the covenant community of Israel as a body summoned or appointed by YHWH. It emphasizes Israel not merely as a crowd, but as a people convened by divine purpose and bound together in communal responsibility before God. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). The form is singular and grammatically feminine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵדָה derives from the root יעד, which conveys the idea of something appointed or fixed by arrangement. Rendering it as "the appointed assembly" preserves both the sense of a gathered body and the root concept of being convened by prior designation. The form is feminine singular with the definite article, reflected in the singular phrase "the assembly." |
