Exegesis
Two coordinated time markers, machar lekhol-et {מָחָר לְכָל־עֵת | machar le-khol-et} ‘tomorrow at any time’ and o-bishloshat yamim {אוֹ־בִּשְׁלשָׁת יָמִים | o-bishloshat yamim} ‘or in three days’, specify the window.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:12
And Jonathan said to David, “The LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow or on the third day, behold, if he is good toward David, shall I not then send word to you and make it known to you?”
