Today, on this Real Israel Talk Radio program, Episode 177 and PART 3, I will continue in this series, When Does A Biblical Day Start? With the morning or with the previous evening? According to my understanding of Genesis 1:2-5, it appears that a biblical day begins anew with each sunrise (and actually, slightly before this at “Shachar,” based on the Hebrew text of Genesis 1:4-5. Here is a basic summary of what I have covered so far:
a. God called the LIGHT DAY, and the DARK, He called NIGHT.
b. He came to be erev – a pre-morning mix [later to be called shachar]
c. Also, he came to be boker – the morning sunrise [Day]
d. He came to be One “DAY,” Yom Echad – that is, Pre-morning AND Morning.
e. Therefore, we are given a repeating formula for the Creation week – Day ‘X’, which is used for days 2 through 7.
