appointed, fixed (of times); Pual participle
A late Hebrew (Aramaic-influenced) verb appearing only as a Pual participle, describing times that are 'fixed' or 'appointed.' It appears in Ezra and Nehemiah's cultic and administrative reforms: 'at appointed times' for legal hearings (Ezra 10:14), for wood offerings (Neh 10:34), and for offerings at fixed festivals (Neh 13:31). The Spanish señalados and French/German cognates all reflect the idea of predetermined, scheduled times. This is liturgical and bureaucratic language: the ordering of time by decree.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Describes 'appointed times' in three postexilic administrative or cultic contexts (Ezra 10:14; Neh 10:34; 13:31). The multilingual glosses (appointed, señalados) uniformly reflect temporal fixity and scheduling. The word denotes times set by authority—whether for legal assemblies or ritual observances. 3×
