Isaac,

Your reference of 2Ki 23:2 got me thinking about looking for this collocation 
(lamed + min + X) with other words. There are actually a lot more than I 
suspected. Quite a number occur in the L+M+X... AD context (from... to). I 
scanned through the list but didn't study it in detail yet (see lists below). 
Hag 2:18 may be instructive, however, because it has both the more common Min 
+ yom form and the L+Min form in the same verse. Ezra 3:13 is also 
interesting because it has AD  עד BEFORE the L+Min+X form.

The pre-positioned combination L-MI- appears also in L-MI-QATON of 2Ki 23:2.

I am not detecting a substantial difference of meaning between L-MI- YOM and 
MI-YOM, but the poetic build-up of L-MI-YOM seems to me a kind of "up from 
the day", containing a whiff of a rhetoric overstatement.
