Reference: Convocation
Easton
(1) 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 (Le 23:2-3), the Passover (Ex 12:16; Le 23:7-8; Nu 28:25), Pentecost (Le 23:21), the feast of Trumpets (Le 23:24; Nu 29:1), the feast of Weeks (Nu 28:26), and the feast of Tabernacles (Le 23:35-36). The great fast, the annual day of atonement, was "the holy convocation" (Le 23:27; Nu 29:7).
