Usage

The Hebrew word "yomam" is used to denote the concept of "by day" or "during the daytime." It is often employed in contrast to "laylah" (לַיְלָה), meaning "night," to emphasize activities or occurrences that take place during daylight hours. In the biblical context, "yomam" can refer to the natural cycle of day and night, God's provision and protection during the day, or the distinction between day and night in various laws and narratives.
