U+05AA "֪" Hebrew Accent Yerah Ben Yomo is a cantillation mark used in the Masoretic Hebrew Bible to indicate a specific musical or grammatical emphasis within the poetic books of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs. This accent, whose name translates to "moon of the son of the day," functions as a disjunctive accent, meaning it signals a pause or break in the text, often occurring on a stressed syllable. It is part of the complex system of Te' amim (trope) that guides liturgical chanting and clarifies syntactic relationships, distinguishing itself from other accents by its unique shape and placement relative to the Hebrew letters.
