Talk:Feasts
When we see the word feast in Deuteronomy 16:16 it speaks or three particular feasts
- feast of unleavened bread
- feast of weeks
- feast of tabernacles
The word used here from which we get the word "feast" is chag[1] Formed by the letters ChetGimel and used as a noun. It is from the root word chagag[2] Which is ChetGimelGimel a verb.
There are other words that are also translated into feast like mishteh[3] composed of the letters MemShemTavHey and from the word meaning to drink,[4] ShemTavHey. The letters ShemTavHey also means foundation or support or even purpose[5] and are even translate Buttocks[6] but supposedly from the root word shiyth[7] meaning to put, set or appoint.
There is another word translated feast at least 23 times and that is mow‘ed[8] formed by the letters MemVavAyinDeleth from YodAyinDeleth or ya‘ad [9]
The Hebrew word mow‘ed is commonly translated "congregation" and generally has to do with an "appointed place, appointed time, meeting".
