and-as-his-day

Rootימ (y-m)
Core Meaningshot,warm hours,daylight period,time span
Semantic RangeLiteral: sunrise-to-sunset or sunset-to-sunset cycle; figurative: any defined time period, age, season, perpetually, continually; adverbial: daily, always, then, when.
Conceptual Significanceיוֹם structures biblical chronology, creation (Gen 1 daily pattern), sabbath observance, festivals, and eschatology (day of YHWH); evokes covenant timing, divine order from chaos, and redemptive history, emphasizing God's sovereignty over time as warm/light periods contrasting eternal divine realm.
Morphological NotesHC/R/Ncmsc: Hebrew Construct state with waw-consecutive (וּ), preposition כְּ (kə- 'as'), noun יוֹם common masculine singular construct with 3ms suffix (יוֹם 'yôwmo 'his day'); surface form וִּכְיוֹם.
Rendering RationaleThe form וּכְיוֹם is a construct noun 'day-of-him' (יוֹם with 3ms suffix) prefixed with וּ and preposition כְּ, literally 'and-as-his-day'; this rendering preserves the root's sense of a warm diurnal period while exactly reflecting the bound construct state, masculine singular gender, and 3ms pronominal suffix in English hyphenated phrasing suitable for idiomatic biblical translation. It maintains semantic connections to the 'hot' etymological core by implying a temporal unit of warmth/light. Morphology HC/R/Ncmsc (waw + preposition k + noun common masculine singular construct) is fully captured without anglicizing to generic 'day'.
