SIBI-P1 H3117-32

to **days**

Morphological NotesHR/Ncmpa: Hebrew Root construct masculine plural absolute (with preposition לְ); lemma יוֹם (yôm), appears in various cantillation forms but uniform morphology.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְיָמִים is a masculine plural noun (HR/Ncmpa) with the preposition לְ ('to/for'), so the faithful rendering preserves the plural 'days' and preposition as 'to **days**', reflecting the root's core sense of warm daytime hours extended to time spans. This maintains grammatical number (plural) and construct state without gender-specific adjustment needed for nouns. It avoids generic 'times' to honor the literal 'day' imagery from the unused root meaning 'to be hot'.
