Exegesis
bayom hahu {בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא | bə-yôm ha-hûʼ} ‘in that day’ functions as a temporal marker introducing future judgment.
In context — Isaiah 17:9
On that day, his fortified cities will be like a forsaken place in the forest and like a topmost branch which they abandoned because of the children of Israel. And it will be desolation.
