YAHWEH’S APPOINTED TIMES
Biblical Calendar
A Scripture-first introduction to the Sabbath, new months, and annual appointed times.
Begin with Leviticus 23
Scripture calls these times the appointed times of Yahweh. They begin with the weekly Sabbath and continue through the annual cycle of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
This page is an educational guide rather than a claim that every calendar question is simple or undisputed. Where modern calendar systems differ, Covenant Roots will distinguish the biblical text from later calculation and tradition.

The seventh day: holy time for cessation, worship, delight, and covenant remembrance.
