SIBI-P1 H3117-07

in day-of

Rootימ (y-m)
Core Meaningshot, warmth, daylight period, divinely ordered time
Semantic RangeLiteral daylight (sunrise to sunset); full 24-hour cycle (evening to evening); figurative span of time or event; appointed/divine day (e.g., Day of the Lord, festivals); lifetime or age in plural.
Conceptual SignificanceYôm anchors God's creative order (Gen 1:5), sabbath rhythm (Exod 20:11), and redemptive history through feasts and judgments, symbolizing divinely measured time that integrates human life with Yahweh's eternal purposes, culminating in eschatological 'day' promises.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsc: Hebrew preposition בְּ + noun יוֹם (yôm) in masculine singular construct state, indicating 'in/on (the) day of' something; surfaces vary by cantillation but are morphologically identical.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'in day-of' preserves the preposition בְּ ('in') and the construct state of יוֹם (day), reflecting its morphological form HR/Ncmsc as a masculine singular noun in construct, ready for genitive modification; it evokes the root's sense of a warm, defined temporal unit without imposing non-biblical glosses. This maintains semantic fidelity to the literal 'in/on the day of' while highlighting the construct's relational function common in Hebrew idiom.
