Day (Heb. y^m; Gr. h”méra). 1. Period of one day and one night. Approximately, the duration of one rotation of the Earth on its axis. The Hebrews reckoned the calendar or civil day from evening to evening (Lev 23:27, 32; cf Gen 1:5, 8, 13; etc.); that is, from sunset to sunset (Lev 22:6, 7; cf Mar 1:32). The Babylonians also began their days at sunset; the Egyptians did it with sunrise; the Romans counted them from midnight, from which the current custom derives. 2. Period of light in contrast to night. In post-exilic and NT times the day consisted of 12 hours* that were divided into 4 parts (Joh 11:9; cf Mat 20:1-12): Prime hour (from sunrise to 9 a.m.), Third Hour (from 9 to 12; Mat 20:3; Mar 15:25), Sixth Hour (from 12 to 3; Mat 20:5; 7:45; Mar 15:33; John 4:6; 19:14), the ninth hour (from 3 p.m. to sunset; Mat 20:5; 27:45, 46; Mar 15:33, 34). Such hours were counted between sunrise and sunset (called “natural day”), or between sunrise and nightfall* (cf. Mat 16:2; there were variations in duration depending on whether it was summer or winter). Generally, the “morning” (Heb b^qer) was until 10 o’clock, and the “heat of the day” (noon; Heb. tsohorayim; Gr. mes’mbria) lasted until 2 p.m. It is very likely that John, recording the final events of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, will use the Roman computing system (John 19: 14; 6 o’clock in the morning according to the Roman system, 12 noon according to the Jewish system). The Bible also mentions the seventh hour (Joh 4:52, BJ; 1 in the afternoon), the tenth hour (1:39; 4 in the afternoon) and the eleventh hour (Mat 20:6, 9; 5 p.m.). 3. Specific time or condition regardless of its duration. Like “the day of conflict” (Psa 20:1), “the day of good” (Ecc 7:14), the “day of salvation” (2Co 6:2), the “day of Jehovah”* (ls. 2:12), etc

Latin die The time it takes for the earth to revolve around its axis. In ancient cultures the d. was understood in different ways, in Babylon it was considered that the d. began with sunrise, while for the Athenians and Jews the d. It began with sunset, with sunset. As the sacred calendar of the Israelites was lunar, for religious festivals sunset was considered as the beginning of the day, so for the celebration of Passover and unleavened bread, it is said that the lamb will be immolated “between two lights” , that is, between the two evenings, and the unleavened bread will be eaten “from the evening of the fourteenth day of the month until the evening of the twenty-first day† , Ex 12, 6 and 18; Lev 23, 5; the same is said of the day of Atonement, “The d. ninth of the month, in the evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep rest† , Lv 23, 32.
Currently as today, he was called d. to the period of natural light between sunrise and sunset, to distinguish it from night, as expressed in Gn 1:5, “and God called the light day and the darkness he called night”; just as he also made the two great lights, the sun and the moon, to rule the day and the night, Gn 1, 14-18; 8, 22; Salt 136 (135), 7-8. Yahweh marched ahead of the people through the desert and led them by day, in a pillar of cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire, Ex 13, 21-22; 40, 38. In this same sense, d., as light, is read in Is 27, 3, in contrast to the darkness of the night. Likewise in Mk 5, 5; Lk 18, 7; Jn 11, 9-10; 1 Tm 5, 5. For this reason, figuratively, the Christian faithful, who follow Christ, “light of the world”, according to Jn 8, 12, are called by the apostle Paul as “sons of light and sons of the d.” , as opposed to the children of the night or of darkness, 1 Thess 5, 5-8; the Christian must proceed in his life decorously, as in full light, that is, in full d., Rm 13, 12-13.
Common in the Scriptures is the expression †œD. of Yahvéh† , especially in the prophetic writings, to signify the d. of the punishment for the Israelite people for his infidelity to Yahweh and his stubbornness in sin, d. in which God will manifest all his power, his wrath, his wrath, d. of visitation, So 1; day of Wrath, as it is said in Is 2, 6-21; Junior 30, 5-7; Ez 22, 24; Lm 2, 22; Jl 1, 15; Am 2, 16; 5, 18-20; 8, 9-10 and 13; for the enemies of God, the oppressors of the people of Israel, against Babylon, Is 13, 6-9; Jr 50, 27; 51, 2; against Egypt, Is 19, 16; Jr 46, 10 and 21; Ez 30, 1-3; against Philistia, Tire and Sidon, Jr 47, 4; against Edom, Is 34, 8-10; 63, 4; Ab 1, 8-16; d. when Israel will be restored, Is 11, 11; 12, 1; 30, 26; Am 9, 11.
In the NT the d. of the Lord will be at the second coming of Jesus Christ, as he himself says in Lk 17, 24; when Jesus Christ appears, Acts 2, 17-21; Phil 1, 6.

A word frequently misunderstood due to its various uses in the Bible. Many times it means the time between sunrise and sunset (Gen 1:5; Psa 74:16). At an early time it was divided into three parts: morning, noon and evening (Psa 55:17; Dan 6:10).
The word also refers to time in general (Jdg 18:30; Oba 1:12). It is also used figuratively in reference to the day of judgment (Isa 2:12; Joe 1:15; Amo 5:18; Rom 13:12), the length of life (Gen 5:4), the moment of opportunity ( John 9:4) and any time (Pro 12:16).

The word in Hebrew is used to indicate: a) the period of light in contrast to that of darkness; b) the twenty-four hour period; c) a “time” or epoch; d) a specific time. In the OT the division of d was not known. in hours. The difference was made according to the observed phenomena of light and darkness. The D. it began and ended with sunset (†œ…from evening to evening† ). Evening, morning and noon are mentioned (“Evening and tomorrow and at noon I will pray and cry out”), but without establishing clear boundaries between them. It also speaks of “the morning watch” (Exo 14:24), “midnight” (Exo 11:4; Judg 7:19). A method was also used in Israel whereby each d. (and every night) was divided into twelve periods whose duration depended on the season of the year. Ultra-Orthodox Jews still use that way of measuring time today.
The division of the d. in twenty-four hours was something that began to be done after exile. Therefore, in NT times we do speak of the division into hours (“Has not the d. twelve hours?”). Those hours are counted from sunrise to sunset (Mat 20:1-16). The Lord Jesus’ words about “evening, or midnight, or cockcrowing, or morning” (Mar 13:35) were a way of referring to the different parts of d. The Jews divided the period of darkness, or night, into three watches. The first watch was from sundown, the second from midnight, and the third from cockcrow. The Romans divided the night into four vigils of three hours each starting at sundown.
change from night to day it was taken by pagans as the result of a struggle between two opposing forces, but Hebrew monotheism led them to see it as a cycle attributed to God (“(I) form light and create darkness”). In relation to the sovereignty of God, it is said that he precedes the existence of the d. (†œEven before there was d. I was† ). he transcends the notion of time (“a thousand years before your eyes are like the day of yesterday, which is past, and like one of the watches of the night”). he is the creator of time and controls it (“Yours is the day, yours also is the night; you established the moon and the sun”). While the man has his d. limited on earth († œThe d. of our age are… †) and he must learn to count them († œTeach us… to count our d. †). †¢Time. †¢Time. †¢Watch.

vet, (A) Ordinarily the period of time that elapses between two sunrises is called a day. But the Hebrews counted from one evening to the next (Gen. 1; Lev. 23:32; Ex. 12:18; Josephus, Wars 4:9, 12). There are those who have thought that this custom perhaps came from the…
