SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-19
like days
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְ ("like/as") prefixed to masculine plural absolute noun יָמִים from יוֹם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine absolute form יָמִים means "days," and the prefixed כְ adds the comparative sense "like/as." The rendering preserves both the plurality and the core temporal sense of the root יום. |
