Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ad-hayom {עַד־הַיּֽוֹם | ’aḏ-ha-yôm} ‘until the day’ marks a temporal boundary idiomatically rendered ‘to this day’, linking the ancestral statement to the narrative present. An English copula is supplied to capture the Hebrew verbless clause and maintain the identification nuance.
In context — Genesis 19:37
And the firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
