His role was to communicate God's laws and instructions, which included the appointed feasts. This reflects the biblical principle of divine revelation through chosen individuals. Moses' authority is affirmed in various parts of Scripture, such as in <a href="/exodus/3-10.htm">Exodus 3:10-12</a>, where God calls him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.<p><b>to the Israelites</b><br>The Israelites were the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, and were chosen by God to be His covenant people. This covenant relationship is central to the Old Testament narrative, beginning with Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>. The feasts were given specifically to Israel as part of their unique identity and relationship with God, setting them apart from other nations.<p><b>the appointed feasts</b><br>The appointed feasts, or "moedim" in Hebrew, were sacred times set by God for worship and remembrance. These feasts are detailed in <a href="/leviticus/23.htm">Leviticus 23</a> and include Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks (Pentecost), Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. Each feast had specific rituals and significance, often tied to agricultural cycles and historical events, such as the Exodus. They also foreshadowed future events and the coming of Christ, as seen in the New Testament fulfillment of Passover in Jesus' crucifixion (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>).<p><b>of the LORD</b><br>The feasts were not merely cultural or national celebrations; they were instituted by the LORD, Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel. This underscores their divine origin and purpose. The phrase "of the LORD" emphasizes that these feasts were acts of worship and obedience to God, reflecting His holiness and the call for His people to be holy (<a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>). The LORD's involvement in these feasts points to His desire for a relationship with His people and His sovereignty over time and history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Moses is the leader and prophet chosen by God to deliver His laws and instructions to the Israelites.
