The Importance of Structuring Time: Leviticus 23

Leviticus 23 outlines the seven sacred feast days that marked the time and rhythm of the Israelite calendar. These annual moadim, or meeting times, were essential for the ancient Israelites to dedicate specific moments to meet with God and commemorate their liberation from Egypt. The first feast, Passover, served as a starting point for a new year and was a week-long celebration. Other feasts included the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and the Feast of Tabernacles, each serving different symbolic purposes. The calendar's structure illustrated the story and values of the Israelite people, emphasizing the importance of dedicating time to worship and reflect on their journey of faith.
