Berean Strong's Lexicon yomam: By day, in the daytime Original Word: יוֹמָם Word Origin: Derived from יוֹם (yom), meaning "day." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2250 (ἡμέρα, hēmera) – day - G1798 (ἐνήμερος, enēmeros) – by day, during the day 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. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the division of time into day and night was crucial for daily life, religious practices, and agricultural activities. The daytime was associated with work, travel, and worship, while the night was a time for rest and reflection. The concept of "yomam" reflects the rhythm of life in a predominantly agrarian society, where daylight was essential for productivity and safety.
