1. 2Sam 15:20 תְּמוֺל בּוֺאֲךָ yesterday (=only lately) was thy coming, Job 8:9 תמול אנחנו (of) yesterday (Ges^{«GKC:141d»§ 141d}) are we, Ps 90:4 (genitive) בְּיוֺם אֶתְמוֺל.

2. usually in combination with שִׁלְשֹׁם yesterday (and) the third day, to express the idea of formerly: thus

a. as adverb accusative (a) גַּם תְּמוֺל גַּם הַיּוֺם 1Sam 20:27 (literal), compare Exod 5:14 (sub b); (b) תְּמוֺל שִׁלְשֹׁם Exod 5:8Ruth Exod 2:11, so ׳ אֶתְמ ׳ שׁ 1Sam 4:7 (c) ׳ גַּם שׁ ׳ גַּם ת 2Sam 3:17; 1Chr 11:2 (|| 2Sam 5:2 with ׳ אֶתְמ).

b. בִּתְמוֺל שִׁלְשֹׁם as formerly Gen 31:2; Gen 31:5; Exod 5:7; Josh 4:18; 1Sam 21:6 (but Bu ׳ מִתְּ, as c), 2Kgs 13:5 ׳ שׁ ׳ כְּאֶתְמ 1Sam 14:21; 1Sam 19:7; Exod 5:14 ׳ שׁ ׳ כִּת גַּם תְּמוֺל גַּם הַיּוֺם as yesterday (and) the third day (= as formerly), both yesterday and to-day (=so more recently).

c. ׳ מִתְּמוֺל שׁ = (form) aforetime, Exod 21:29; Exod 21:36; Josh 3:6, ׳ שׁ ׳ וְהוּא לֹא שׂנֵא לוֺ מִתְּ Deut 4:42; Deut 19:4; Deut 19:6; Josh 20:5 so ׳ מֵאִתְּמוֺל שׁ 1Sam 10:11 גַּס ׳ גַּס מִשּׁ ׳ מִתְּ Exod 4:10.

3. מֵאֶתְמוּל (alone) Isa 30:33 from yesterday = already; וְאֶתְּמוּל עַמִּי Mic 2:8 corrupt, read וְאַתֶּם לְעַמִּי (WRS, with יָקוּם; עַל עַמִּי We Now, with תָּקוּמוּ), and see שֵׂלְמָה .
