Exegesis
The temporal clause bayom hashlishi taaleh beit YHWH {בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי תַּעֲלֶה בֵּית יְהוָה | bǎyyôm haššəlîšî ta‘ălēh bêṯ Yᵉhōwāh} ‘on the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD’ presents the prophetic sign. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew speech formula, perfective aspect, and divine titles to reflect covenant context and theological emphasis.
In context — 2 Kings 20:5
Go back and speak to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people: “This is what the LORD —the God of your father David—says: I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears; see, I am restoring your health. On the third day you will go up to the house of the LORD.”
