[Mesorah] RH a chag?

R' J. Meisner:

M. Hamm:

M. Hamm, still:

No, I wanted to know whether the word "chag" is (or was) _used_ to include 
RH.  The fact that one pasuk uses it is not enough; and even if it is, it 
doesn't show later (or earlier) use of "chag" with that meaning, whence my 
reference to Rambam.  (And the G'mara merely is darshning the pasuk, not 
using the word "chag".  There are many instances, of which I of course can 
cite none, where a G'mara will quote a pasuk and darshn it in a way that 
deviates from the real meaning of the words of the pasuk.)
