Exegesis
The verse opens with bayom hahu {בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא | bā-yôm hā-hûʾ} ‘on that day,’ pairing the preposition b- with the emphatic demonstrative for precise temporality.
In context — Isaiah 19:23
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.
