SIBI-P1 H3117-71

his day-periods

Rootימ (y-m)
Core Meaningsheat, warmth, daylight hours, period of time
Semantic RangeLiteral day (sunrise to sunset or sunset to sunset), figurative span of time, age, season, lifetime, perpetually; often adverbial with qualifiers.
Conceptual SignificanceRepresents God's ordered time in creation (Gen 1), human lifespan under divine sovereignty, eschatological fulfillment (e.g., 'in that day'), emphasizing transience and divine eternality.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp3ms: Noun (H = Hebrew), common (not proper), masculine, plural, construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (וֹ).
Rendering Rationale'Day-periods' preserves the core sense of 'yôm' as warm hours or defined time spans from the unused root meaning 'to be hot,' while 'his' directly reflects the 3ms pronominal suffix; the masculine plural construct form is maintained through the plural 'periods' suited to a masculine grammatical context.
