May I ask a question here? The קרי is לו יעדה (lô y'ada). But it seems very odd for the lô to come before the verb. I wonder if that happens elsewhere. On the meaning, I must note that in Arabic ועד w'd means 'to promise, keep ones word' and 'to make an appointment, rendezvous' in the thitd form (fã'ala [= the rare פועל poel in Hebrew] that makes an action with respect to the grammatical object) and that מועד maw'id is 'promise, appointment, rendezvous'. Are there other contexts where the idea of 'making a pledge' might fit with its sense of arranging a meeting?
