1[EVEN THESE ARE MY APPOINTED SEASONS.] Scripture reads, even these are My appointed seasons (mo’adai) because there are many Sabbaths in the year.1 refers to all the Sabbaths (of the year. After stating that all the Sabbaths are God’s appointed seasons, Scripture goes on to speak of the weekly Sabbath in verse 3. For another interpretation see Rashi.
