and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
