yom is never unambiguously used with an ordinal or cardinal number in reference to anything but a normal day.

Really, so in Genesis 1:5, when the same version of Yom was used in describing the '..light of day..' and '...were the first day', that 'light of day' was a normal day, not a general reference to daylight? Or in Genesis 8:22, when the Bible says 'day and night' shall not cease, using the same form of Yom, it was referring to that physical day, not the form of day as a general term? Or how about Psalms 96:2, when David sings to the Lord of his salvation from day to day, it was just a couple of literal days there and not a general statement of always praising God for salvation? Or when Obadiah proclaims "the day of the Lord" is at hand, he was making sure folks marked a specific calendar event and not a statement of an age. Or when Zephaniah proclaims to praise God on the day of the Lord, he really just told people to praise God one day?

Not sure where you get your information, but I would suggest in investing in a good Greek dictionary and Concordance.

You see, that’s what happens when you don’t read or think, but just kneejerk out a cut-and-paste answer. You make yourself look silly.

Now, read my statement (which you thoughtfully cut and paste), and then answer your own question.

Your reply would be indicative of a lack of reading comprehension, if I didn’y know better. He spoke of the use of yom with a value, while you seek uses that are concatenary, or general. Is that a fine strawman, or are you playing a game?
