The Definition of the word Convocation

Convocation

A meeting of a religious character as distinguished from "congregation, which was more general, dealing with political and" "legal matters. Hence it is called an "holy convocation." Such" "convocations were the Sabbaths (Lev. 23:2, 3), the Passover (Ex." "12:16; Lev. 23:7, 8; Num. 28:25), Pentecost (Lev. 23:21), the" "feast of Trumpets (Lev. 23:24; Num. 29:1), the feast of Weeks" "(Num. 28:26), and the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:35, 36). The" "great fast, the annual day of atonement, was "the holy" "convocation" (Lev. 23:27; Num. 29:7)."
