Yom () is a Biblical Hebrew word which occurs in the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament). The Arabic equivalent is "yawm" or "yōm" written as يوم. Although it is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom has several literal definitions: 〔(Lexiconcordance.com Yom hebrew#3117 )〕 *Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness), *Period of twenty-four hours *General term for time *Point of time *Sunrise to sunset *Sunset to next sunset *A year ''(in the plural; I Sam 27:7; Ex 13:10, etc.)'' *Time period of unspecified length. *A long, but finite span of time - age - epoch - season. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, like English that has the largest vocabulary.〔A Social History of Hebrew: Its Origins Through the Rabbinic Period, page 10, By William M. Schniedewind〕 So words often have more than one meaning and context would determine the meaning.〔An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax, page 48, By Bruce K. Waltke, Michael Patrick O'Connor〕 Strong's Lexicon yom is Hebrew #3117 יוֹם 〔(Strong's Hebrew Lexicon, yom, #3117 ).〕 The word Yom's root meaning is to be hot as the warm hours of a day. Thus yom, in it context, is sometimes translated: Time (Gen 4:3) (Is. 30:8). Year (I Kings 1:1)( 2 Chronicles 21:19)(Amos 4:4). Age Gen 18:11, Gen 24:1; Joshua 23:1 and 23:2, Gen 47:28).

Yom is not just for day, days, but for time in general. How yom is translated depends on the context of its use with other words in the around it, using hermeneutics.〔(The Hebrew Word “Yom” Used with a Number in Genesis 1, What does “yom” mean in Genesis 1?, by Rodney Whitefield, Ph.D. 12 June 2006 )〕 The word day is used some what the same way in the English language, examples: "In my grandfather's day, cars did not go very fast" or "In the day of the dinosaurs there were not many mammals."
