you err.

(Lev 23:1 KJV) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

(Lev 23:2 KJV) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

(Lev 23:3 KJV) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

(Lev 23:4 KJV) These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

Each feast was a Holy Convocation, that means there was to be no servile work, it is a Sabbath day.

I would disagree on your definition. A convocation is a meeting, a calling together of the faithful. The Israelites were to proclaim when these meetings were.

However the command not to do servile work seems to be separate and distinct:

First day of ULB:

Lev 23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Last day of ULB:

Lev 23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

Pentecost:

Lev 23:21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Feast of Trumpets:

Lev 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Day of Atonement:

Lev 23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

First day of feast of tabernacles:

Lev 23:35 On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

Last Great Day:

Lev 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].

As I say, I read this to mean that Passover, while proclaimed by God to be a feast of the Lord, wasn't proclaimed to be a sabbath of rest whereas the rest of God's feast days were.
