Morphological NotesPreposition לְ + masculine plural absolute noun יָמִים from יוֹם.
Rendering RationaleThe noun יוֹם means "day" in the sense of a unit of time, whether daylight or a full cycle, and can extend to broader time-spans. The prefixed לְ indicates direction or relation ("to/for"), and the masculine plural absolute form יָמִים requires the plural "days."
