Harold:

Nope, in neither case listed below does MW(D refer
to a season, as in summer, fall, etc. All it refers to
in those cases is an appointed time, which may or
may not correspond to a season.

You're not trying to defend some translation again,
are you?

Actually, "appointment" referring to place and/or
time, is closer to the Hebrew meaning.
