Today is still Day 3 of the Omer. Tip for Torah nuggets: Last night after sunset, I learn new basic about Chol Hamoed. This means Chol Hamoed: (lit. “weekday during the festival”); the semi-festive intermediate days of Passover and Sukkot. I see more clarification Chol HaMoed combines features of weekday (Chol) and festival (Moed).

Moed is a singular. Moedim is the plural Hebrew word meaning “appointments” or “appointed times”.  Leviticus 23 contains significant references to G-d’s appointed times i.e.: “festivals, feasts, moedim, some says spring and autumn moedim (festivals i.e.: YHWH and His Seven Feasts (Moedim). Hebrew Strong Number: H4150 we read Leviticus 23:2: appointed-times, feasts, holidays, festivals, …..please click Leviticus 23:2. i.e.: moed of moedim applies Sabbath (7th day), Seven Feasts (moedim, appointed-times..). Hope this clears.

Chol Hamoed (Hebrew: חול המועד) refers to the intermediate period of the festivals of Passover and Sukkot. The meaning of Chol Hamoed is the weekday of the Holiday. These are the days sandwiched between the beginning and end holy days of both festivals. Passover is celebrated for seven or eight days (In Israel it’s celebrated for 7 days). The first two days and last two days are full-fledged festival days, and the middle four days are named: Chol Hamoed.
