Commentary for II Kings 4:17

וַתַּ֥הַר הָאִשָּׁ֖ה וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן לַמּוֹעֵ֤ד הַזֶּה֙ כָּעֵ֣ת חַיָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יהָ אֱלִישָֽׁע׃

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

Rashi on II Kings

When the time was for her to give birth. Like this time when she was alive and well. Therefore, the word is voweled [to mean], like “this” time.19I.e., the ‘כ’ is voweled with a קָמַץ instead of a שְׁוָא.
