in his days

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + masculine plural construct noun יְמֵי from יוֹם + 3ms pronominal suffix; "in the days of him."
Rendering RationaleThe base noun יוֹם denotes a day or time-period. In construct plural (יְמֵי) with the 3ms suffix and prefixed בְּ, it yields "in the days of him," naturally rendered "in his days," preserving plural number and possessive morphology.
