1 | 24 hour days are based on what? | Gen 1:2 | Lourdes Figueroa | 62417 | ||
Taken out of the NIV THERE WAS EVENING, AND THERE WAS MORNING. This designation is repeated six times in this chapter (vv. 5,8,13,19,23,31). The Hebrew word for day is yom. It normally means a twenty-four hour day (cf. Gen. 7:17; Mat. 17:1), or the daylight portion of the twenty-four hours ("day" as distinct from "night"). But it also can refer to a time period of undetermined lenght (e.g., "harvest time," Pro. 25:13). Many believe the creation days were twenty-four hour days because they are described as consisting of an "evening" and "morning" (v.5; cf. Exo.20:11). Others believe that "evening" and "morning" simply mean that a particular evening brought an end to that step pf creation and the next morning brought a new beginning. |
