Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יוֹם (yom), meaning "day."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for יוֹמָם is Strong's Greek Number G2250, ἡμέρα (hēmera), which means "day." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote a similar concept of daily occurrences or the period of daylight, aligning with the Hebrew understanding of יוֹמָם. Usage: The word יוֹמָם appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often to describe activities or phenomena that occur during the day as opposed to the night. It is used to emphasize the regularity or constancy of an action. Context: יוֹמָם (yomam) is a Hebrew adverb that signifies the concept of "by day" or "daily." It is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe events or actions that take place during the daylight hours. This term is often contrasted with לַיְלָה (laylah), meaning "night," to highlight the distinction between day and night activities. For example, in Exodus 13:21, the pillar of cloud led the Israelites "by day" (יוֹמָם) as they journeyed through the wilderness, providing guidance and protection. Similarly, in Psalm 42:8, the psalmist speaks of the LORD commanding His loving devotion "by day" (יוֹמָם), indicating a continuous and steadfast presence. The use of יוֹמָם underscores the regularity and reliability of God's actions and the natural order He established. It also serves to remind the faithful of the constancy of divine care and the rhythm of life ordained by God.
