appointed time
| 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, signal fixed beforehand |
| Conceptual Significance | מוֹעֵד expresses the concept of divinely established times and gatherings—moments set by יהוה for covenantal encounter, worship, and remembrance. It frames Israel’s calendar and sacred assemblies as appointments initiated by divine authority rather than human preference. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular absolute noun formed from the root יעד. Functions as a concrete substantive indicating a fixed or designated occasion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root יעד, meaning "to appoint" or "to fix by prior arrangement." As a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), מוֹעֵד denotes a single fixed or designated time. "Appointed time" preserves both the root idea of intentional setting and the singular form indicated by the morphology. |
