Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase ad-haor {עַד־הָאוֹר | ʿad ha-ʾôr} ‘until the light’ uses the noun ‘light’ as a metonym for full daylight. English renders these elements in a single flowing sentence, converting the infinitive temporal construction into an adverbial phrase for readability.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–vav–resh

In context — Judges 19:26
And the woman came at the turning of the morning, and she fell at the doorway of the house of the man who was her master, there until the light.
