Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al-hayeled {עַל־הַיֶּ֙לֶד֙ | ʿal-hā-yé-leḏ} ‘upon the boy’ frames the action, and the numeral shalosh peamim {שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִ֔ים | šālōš pə-ʿā-mîm} ‘three times’ functions as an emphatic adverbial.
In context — 1 Kings 17:21
And he stretched himself upon the boy three times and cried out to the LORD and said, “O LORD my God , please let the soul of this boy return within him.”
