SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-04
in his days
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine plural construct noun יְמֵי from יוֹם + 3ms pronominal suffix; "in the days of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
