Berean Strong's Lexicon moed: Appointed time, meeting, assembly, festival Original Word: מוֹעֵד Word Origin: Derived from the root יָעַד (ya'ad), meaning "to appoint" or "to fix." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2540 (kairos): Often used in the New Testament to denote an appointed or opportune time. - G2824 (klētos): Refers to being called or invited, often in the context of a divine appointment. Usage: The Hebrew word "moed" primarily refers to an appointed time or place, often used in the context of sacred festivals, religious gatherings, or divinely appointed meetings. It signifies a time set apart for a specific purpose, often involving worship or remembrance. In the context of the tabernacle and temple, "moed" can also refer to the "tent of meeting," where God would meet with His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, "moed" was integral to the religious and communal life of the people. The Israelites observed several "moedim" (plural of moed), which were divinely appointed festivals such as Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These festivals were not only times of worship and sacrifice but also served as reminders of God's covenantal relationship with Israel and His acts of deliverance and provision. The concept of "moed" underscores the importance of time and place in the worship of Yahweh, emphasizing the rhythm of sacred time in the life of the community.
