Exegesis
The construct mōʿădêy YHWH {מוֹעֲדֵי יְהוָה | mōʿă-dêy Yə-hō-wāh} frames the festivals as belonging to the LORD.
The emphatic sequence eleh hem mo'adai {אֵ֥לֶּה הֵ֖ם מוֹעֲדָֽי | ʾēl-leh hēm mōʿă-dāy} underscores exclusivity as God’s appointed seasons and solidifies covenantal ownership in the sacred calendar.
