Definition:

The term "day" literally refers to a period of time lasting 24 hours beginning at sundown. It is also used figuratively.

  • For the Israelites and the Jews, a day began at sunset of one day and ended at sunset of the next day.
  • Sometimes the term "day" is used figuratively to refer to a longer period of time, such as the "day of Yahweh" or "last days."
