SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-56
in days
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + noun, masculine plural absolute (יָמִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun יוֹם means "day" in a broad temporal sense. The plural masculine absolute form יָמִים with the prefixed preposition ב־ yields "in days," preserving both plurality and the basic temporal unit without contextual expansion. |
