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 (Exd 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).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
