and for appointed-times

Rootיעד (y-ʿ-d)
Core Meaningsto appoint, fix, designate, assign, meet by appointment
Semantic Rangeappointed time, fixed season, festival, solemn assembly, meeting, gathering place, signal fixed in advance
Conceptual Significanceמוֹעֵד marks divinely designated times in Israel’s calendar—set seasons when YHWH meets with His people. It emphasizes sacred time as established by divine appointment, underscoring covenant order and communal worship structured around YHWH’s sovereign scheduling.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ (and) + preposition לְ (to/for) + noun מוֹעֵד in the masculine common plural absolute form (Ncmpa). No pronominal suffix; number is plural, gender masculine.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מוֹעֵד derives from the root יעד, "to appoint" or "to fix by agreement." Rendering it as "appointed-times" preserves the core idea of divinely set or designated occasions, rather than merely "festivals." The masculine plural form is reflected in "times," and the prefixed conjunction and preposition (וּ + לְ) are represented by "and for."
