'Assemblies' in the Bible

"Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'These are the Lord's appointed times which you must proclaim as holy assemblies -- my appointed times:

"'These are the Lord's appointed times, holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed time.

"'These are the appointed times of the Lord that you must proclaim as holy assemblies to present a gift to the Lord -- burnt offering, grain offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings, each day according to its regulation,

and whenever burnt sacrifices were offered to the Lord on the Sabbath and at new moon festivals and assemblies. A designated number were to serve before the Lord regularly in accordance with regulations.

Afterward they offered the continual burnt offerings and those for the new moons and those for all the holy assemblies of the Lord and all those that were being voluntarily offered to the Lord.

In your large assemblies praise God, the Lord, in the assemblies of Israel!

I hate your new moon festivals and assemblies; they are a burden that I am tired of carrying.

"I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!
