SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-79
their days
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (יְמֵי) + 3rd person masculine plural suffix; from יוֹם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יוֹם in the masculine plural construct form יְמֵי with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their days." This preserves the root sense of day as a unit or span of time while reflecting the plural construct plus pronominal suffix. |
