Exegesis
The temporal expression le-yom ha-kese {לְי֥וֹם הַ֝כֵּ֗סֶא | lə-yōm ha-kē-śeʾ} “for the full moon” frames the timing, and the imperfect yavo {יָבֹ֥א | yā-ḇōʾ} “he will come” projects future action.
In context — Proverbs 7:20
He has taken a pouch of silver in his hand; on the appointed day , he will come to his house.
