Exodus 4:10 מִשִּׁלְשֹׁ֔ם from three days ago

“Please, Lord,” Moses replied, “I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since You have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and tongue.”

Here: Literally 'since three days ago'. Paired with 'yesterday', it means 'ever before'. Moses means he has never been a good speaker, not that he had a bad couple of days.

Exodus 5:7 שִׁלְשֹׁ֑ם three days ago

“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.

Deuteronomy 4:42 שִׁלְשׁ֑וֹם [the] third day

to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:

Deuteronomy 19:4 שִׁלְשֹֽׁם׃ [the] third day

Now this is the situation regarding the manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally, without intending to harm him:

Deuteronomy 19:6 שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃ [the] third day

Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue the manslayer in a rage, overtake him if the distance is great, and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any harm.

Joshua 3:4 שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃ ס three days ago

But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”

Here: Completes the idiom. 'Not… from yesterday and the day before' means 'never before'. It is not a literal count of three days (compare Gen 31:2; Exod 4:10).

Joshua 4:18 שִׁלְשׁ֖וֹם three days ago

When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the Jordan and their feet touched the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their course and overflowed all the banks as before.

Here: Literally “the third day [back].” Paired with təmôl it simply means “before.” It is not a literal count of days.

the Philistines were afraid. “The gods have entered their camp!” they said. “Woe to us, for nothing like this has happened before.

Here: Built on the word for 'three': 'three days ago', counting today. Together with 'yesterday' it makes the fixed phrase 'previously, in times past' (compare Gen 31:2, Exod 5:8).

2 Kings 13:5 שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃ three days ago

So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.
