שִׁלְשֹׁם and (less often) שִׁלְשׁוֺם₂₅

adverb = three days ago, specifically day before yesterday (Kö^{ii. 1. 255f.} Lag^{BN 20 Anm.} Ba^{NB § 216 b}); — in phrase ׳תְּמוֺל שׁ Exodus 5:8 yesterday (and) day before, idiomatic for hitherto, so Ruth 2:11, ׳אֶתְמוֺל שׁ 1 Samuel 4:7; ׳שׁ׳כִּת Genesis 31:2,5 (E), Exodus 5:7,14 (J), 2 Kings 13:5, compare 1 Samuel 14:21; 1 Samuel 19:7; ׳גַּםשֿׁ׳גַּםתֿ Exodus 4:10 (J), 2 Samuel 3:17; 1 Chronicles 11:2, compare 2 Samuel 5:2; ׳שׁ׳מִתּ from aforetime, previously Exodus 21:29,36 (E), Deuteronomy 4:42; Deuteronomy 19:4,6; Joshua 4:18 (J), Joshua 3:4; Joshua 20:5 (both R), compare 1 Samuel 10:11; ׳שׁ׳כִּת 1 Samuel 21:6 as formerly (but Bu ׳שׁ׳מִתּ = for some days). — ׳שׁ Proverbs 22:20 Kt is difficult; Qr שָׁלִשִׁים (see III. שָׁלִישׁ) is impossible; supply perhaps תְּמוֺל have I not thee heretofore, etc.?
