Study note
Setting — Moses addresses the Israelites at the conclusion of the chapter detailing the LORD's appointed feasts, immediately following the instruction about dwelling in booths.
The words — וַיְדַבֵּר (va/y.da.Ber) means "and he spoke," and מֹעֲדֵי יְהוָה (mo.'a.Dei Yah.weh) literally denotes "appointed feasts of Yahweh."
The thread — This closing formula parallels Leviticus 21:24 and Leviticus 23:1, while Matthew 18:20 offers a later thematic reference to gathering.
Why it lands — The verse records Moses transmitting the divine calendar to the people, requiring the reader to note the structural closure of the feast legislation.
