Strong's Lexicon muedeth: Appointed time, meeting, assembly Original Word: מוּעֶדֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root יָעַד (ya'ad), meaning "to appoint" or "to designate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is καιρός (kairos), meaning "appointed time" or "season." Usage: The term "muedeth" refers to a designated or appointed time, often used in the context of religious gatherings or festivals. It signifies a time set apart for a specific purpose, usually involving communal worship or observance of sacred events. In the Hebrew Bible, it is closely associated with the concept of divine appointments, where God sets specific times for His people to gather and worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of appointed times was central to religious life. The Israelites followed a calendar that included various feasts and holy days, such as Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These times were not only for worship but also for remembering God's acts of salvation and provision. The idea of "muedeth" underscores the importance of time in the rhythm of worship and community life, reflecting a divinely ordered structure for spiritual observance.
