Exegesis
The relative clause asherba {אֲשֶׁר־בָּא | ʾăšer-bāʾ} ‘who came’ specifies the earlier visit, while the temporal phrase bayom {בַּיֹּום | bayyôm} anchors that visit in time. English connective structures and clause order are chosen to preserve the narrative’s rapid pacing and focal emphasis.
