and day
An adverb and nominal form indicating the 'daytime,' the period of light or activity between dawn and dusk; it may also mean 'by day,' 'in the daytime,' or, more abstractly, refer to the duration or quality of being day as opposed to night. It is frequently used in contrast with לַיְלָה (night), marking times or activities that occur specifically during the daylight hours, and can also convey the idea of regular or repeated daytime occurrence (e.g., 'by day' as opposed to 'by night').

SIBI-P1 Translation H3119-02
and by day
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + adverbial nominal form יוֹמָם (mimation ending), functioning as a temporal adverb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form יוֹמָם is an adverbial derivative of יום, indicating the state or period of daytime; the prefixed וְ adds the conjunction "and." "By day" preserves the temporal-adverbial force tied to the root idea of brightness and daylight. |
