A Commanded Holy Gathering
Commentators explain that a 'holy convocation' was a sacred assembly for corporate worship, sacrifice, and instruction. The people were formally summoned, likely by the blowing of silver trumpets, to gather together on the first and last days of the feast. This was not merely a day off, but a divinely commanded time to focus on God as a community.
