These Greek terms capture various aspects of the concept of מוֹעֵד, from the idea of appointed times and festivals to the notion of signs and testimonies, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the Hebrew term in the biblical narrative.

Usage: The word מוֹעֵד is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often referring to appointed times or seasons, such as festivals or sacred assemblies. It is also used to describe the tent of meeting, where God would meet with Moses and the Israelites.

Context: The Hebrew term מוֹעֵד (mo'ed) is a multifaceted word that appears frequently in the Old Testament, with significant theological and liturgical implications. It is often translated as "appointed time" or "appointed festival," underscoring the concept of divinely ordained times for worship and remembrance.

In the Pentateuch, מוֹעֵד is prominently associated with the "Tent of Meeting" (אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, ohel mo'ed), the sacred space where God communicated with Moses and the Israelites (Exodus 33:7). This usage highlights the term's connection to divine-human interaction and sacred space.

The word also appears in the context of the religious calendar, referring to the appointed festivals of Israel, such as Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:2-4). These festivals are described as מוֹעֲדֵי יְהוָה (mo'adei Yahweh), "the appointed times of the LORD," emphasizing their role as divinely instituted times for communal worship and celebration.

Additionally, מוֹעֵד can denote a general assembly or congregation, as seen in passages like Psalm 74:8, where it refers to the gathering of the faithful. The term's usage extends to signify a "signal" or "sign," indicating a designated time or event that holds particular significance.

Overall, מוֹעֵד encapsulates the idea of time and space set apart for divine purposes, reflecting the rhythm of worship and the covenant relationship between God and His people.
