Exegesis
The temporal phrase bayyôm ha-šēnî {בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִֽי | ba-yôm ha-šēnî} ‘on the second day’ functions as an adverbial clause. Hebrew narrative favors the VSO order with the prefixed verb first, then subject, then adjuncts. The construct chains bnei + noun create collective designations rendered idiomatically in English. The ordinal “ha-šēnî” marks successive engagement in the conflict.
Root and etymology
