The term "day" refers to a period of time lasting 24 hours.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 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 "judgment day" or "last days."
|

|
|
* Some languages will have a different idiom for these concepts or will prefer to use nonfigurative language.
