Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַשׁ (shalash), meaning "to do a third time" or "to divide into three parts."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the concept of "day" is found in Strong's Greek Number G2250, ἡμέρα (hēmera), which is used to denote a day or the period from sunrise to sunset. While not a direct equivalent in terms of the specific phrase "the day before yesterday," G2250 is relevant in the broader context of time-related expressions in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The word שִׁלְשׁוֹם appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often used to reference events or conditions that existed or occurred two days before the present time. It is used to emphasize the recency of past events or states. Context: • The term שִׁלְשׁוֹם is found in several passages throughout the Old Testament, where it is used to describe events or situations that took place two days prior. For example, in 1 Samuel 21:5, David refers to the state of his men as being pure "even yesterday and the day before yesterday" (שִׁלְשׁוֹם). This usage underscores the continuity and recentness of their condition.
