²你晓谕 以色列 人 说 ：耶和华 的节期 ，你们要宣告 为圣 会 的节期 。

²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

² Verse 2. These are my feasts.] The original word moad

is properly applied to any solemn anniversary, by which great

and important ecclesiastical, political, or providential facts

were recorded; See Clarke on Ge 1:14.

Anniversaries of this kind were observed in all nations; and some

of them, in consequence of scrupulously regular observation,

became chronological epochs of the greatest importance in history:

the Olympiads, for example.
