Exegesis
The suffix pronoun otam {אֹתָם | ’ôtām} ‘them’ marks the direct object, and the prepositional phrase be-mo‘adam {בְּמוֹעֲדָֽם | bə-mō‘ădām} ‘in their appointed times’ specifies timing. Hebrew’s front‐loaded constructs highlight divine authority before the human imperative. In English, the relative clause is rendered after a comma and the timing phrase follows the verb for clarity and flow.
