 Days·man n.  An umpire or arbiter; a mediator.
    Neither is there any daysman betwixt us.   --Job ix. 33.
 

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Daysman
    an umpire or arbiter or judge (Job 9:33). This word is formed
    from the Latin diem dicere, i.e., to fix a day for hearing a
    cause. Such an one is empowered by mutual consent to decide the
    cause, and to "lay his hand", i.e., to impose his authority, on
    both, and enforce his sentence.
