Genesis 31:2
וַ יַּרְא יַעֲקֹב אֶת פְּנֵי לָבָן וְ הִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ עִמֹּו כִּ תְמֹול שִׁלְשֹׁום
And Heel is seeing the faces of White, and behold, they are nothing with him as yesterday, third-hot-one-past.994
| 994 | Hebrew כִּתְמ֥וֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם. Kitmol shlishom. Strong’s #8032, shlishom, Third hot-one prior/back/past. “Three” shalosh appears to be compounded with the word “hot-one” yom. Strong’s #8543, timol means yesterday but is very frequently interpreted as abstract senses of time, i.e. formerly, ago. An additional word emesh (#570) is used for last night, see Gen. 19:34. Cf. Gesenius. |
