2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be ^aholy convocations, these are My feasts.

The Sabbath

3 ^a‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

The Passover and Unleavened Bread

4 ^a‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.

5 ^aOn the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.

These are my feasts - The original word moad is properly applied to any solemn anniversary, by which great and important ecclesiastical, political, or providential facts were recorded; see Clarke on Genesis 1:14 (note). Anniversaries of this kind were observed in all nations; and some of them, in consequence of scrupulously regular observation, became chronological epochs of the greatest importance in history: the Olympiads, for example.
