The Meaning of Day in the Bible
The word "day" in the Bible in its primary sense means the interval between dawn and darkness.
This is the first occurrence of the word "day" in the Bible, and the Lord God himself gives its meaning. Jesus believed there were 12 hours in a day. He asked in John 11:9:
" . . . Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."
Jesus made a day and night consist of 24 hours. Can there be any higher authorities than the Lord God and Jesus Christ? Do not such authorities settle the matter for all true believers?
In the Bible a day is the interval of time comprising the period between two successive risings of the sun (Genesis 7:24; Job 3:16). The Hebrews reckoned it from evening to evening Exodus 12:18,
. . . from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath"Leviticus 23:32.
The 12-hour night began at sunset and ended at sunup. It was counted before the 12-hour day.
And the evening and the morning were the first day"
Genesis 1:5.
Hence a new day began at 6 o'clock in the evening and lasted until the same time the next evening--a period of 24 hours--a 12-hour night followed by a 12-hour day!
