It is used to denote a period that has been set or designated for a particular purpose or event. In the biblical context, it often implies divine appointment or timing, reflecting God's sovereignty over time and events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, time was perceived as cyclical, marked by agricultural seasons, religious festivals, and significant events in the life of the community. The concept of "zeman" underscores the belief that God orchestrates the times and seasons, as seen in the cyclical nature of the Jewish calendar, which includes appointed feasts and Sabbaths. This understanding of time as divinely appointed is central to the Jewish worldview and is reflected in the observance of holy days and festivals.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
