SIBI-P1 H3117-32

for-the-day

Rootימ (y-m)
Core Meaningsheat, warmth, daylight hours, temporal period
Semantic RangeLiteral day (sunrise to sunset or sunset to sunset); figurative space of time (age, season, lifetime); adverbial (daily, continually); in construct with לְ often 'for the day' or 'day by day' indicating daily provision or occurrence.
Conceptual Significanceיוֹם underscores God's daily faithfulness in provision (e.g., manna in Exodus), the structured rhythm of creation (Genesis 1), and eschatological themes of 'day of the Lord'; in phrases like לְיוֹם, it emphasizes momentary reliance on divine sustenance amid Israel's wanderings, evoking covenantal care.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsa (noun, common gender, masculine, singular, absolute state) or HR/Ncmsc (noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state) with preposition לְ; surfaces show minor orthographic and accentual variations.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the prepositional prefix לְ ('for/to') and the construct/absolute form of יוֹם as a fixed phrase 'for the day,' directly reflecting the common translation while hyphenating to indicate the inseparable Hebrew construct chain; it maintains masculine singular noun morphology (Ncmsa/Ncmsc) without alteration. The root's connotation of 'warm hours' is inherently evoked through 'day' as the standard English equivalent for the temporal unit defined by daylight. No gender/number/person suffixes are present, so neutral singular form is used.
