our days

Rootימ (y-m)
Core Meaningsday, warm hours, time period, season, age
Semantic RangeLiteral day (sunrise to sunset or sunset to sunset); figurative space of time, age, season, lifetime, perpetually; often adverbial or in phrases like 'in our days' or 'all our days'.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, 'our days' often evokes the brevity and vanity of human life (Ps 90:9), God's sovereignty over time, and eschatological hope for days of restoration and Messiah's coming, emphasizing dependence on divine timing amid exile and scattering.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp1cp: Noun, masculine, common (or common gender), plural construct with 1st person common plural suffix.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core meaning of 'day' or 'days' from the root יום, reflecting the construct plural form (yāmēnû) with the 1cp pronominal suffix 'our' as indicated by the morphology HNcmpc/Sp1cp. It maintains grammatical number (plural) and person (1st common plural possessive), using standard English possessive without unnecessary gender specification since the form is common gender.
