START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Genesis 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
THERE WAS EVENING, AND THERE WAS MORNING – THE FIRST DAY / GENESIS 1:5
This phrase is repeated six times in this chapter (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31). The Hebrew word for day is yom, which normally means a twenty-four-hour period (Genesis 7;7; Matthew 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 length (“harvest time,” Proverbs 25:13). Many believe the creation days were twenty-four-hour days because each had an “evening” and a “morning” (Genesis 1:5; Exodus 20:11). Others believe that “evening” and “morning” simply mean that each evening marked an end to that stage of creation and the next morning indicated a new beginning.
