Exegesis
The temporal prepositional phrase beyom echad {בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָֽד | bə-yôm ʼe-ḥāḏ} ‘in one day’ defines the simultaneous time frame. In English the temporal phrase is delayed to conform to standard syntax, and the dynamic register further chooses “kill” and “baby” to convey immediacy and relational warmth absent in the formal diction.
In context — Leviticus 22:28
And an ox or a sheep—you shall not slaughter it and its young on the same day .
