The Hebrew word for 'day,' often used in English when discussing Hebrew texts or Jewish culture.
From Hebrew 'yom' יום. This ancient word appears throughout the Hebrew Bible and has been used in English texts since medieval times when scholars studied religious texts.
In the Hebrew creation story, each day is called 'yom'—and scholars still debate whether 'yom' means a literal 24-hour day or an age, because the same word appears in both poetic and literal contexts in the Bible.
