[Avodah] Is the term "He died before his time" correct?

[Saul Mashbaum]

RTK:
>>
I believe that "zman" is a date or a season and "eis" is the time of
day.  You have "eis" as a point in the shana but I think that "zman"
is the word for a point in the calendar.

See RSRH's commentary on Bereshit 18;10;

"There are two words for time, zman and eit. Zman is probably time in
general in its duration and effect; eit designates a point in time, a
moment either as befitting for some purpose or altogether as a
fraction of time"

RSRH then cites Kohelet 2:1 (davar b'ito ma tov, SM): Lakol zman,
v'eit l'kol chefetz. "Everything requres its time, and there is a
fixed, proper moment for every effort".

Shabbat Shalom umoadim l'simcha.
