'Day' in the Bible

God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, one day.

God called the expanse "sky." There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

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

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

There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made.

This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."

He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go --

It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death.

until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

That which was torn of animals, I didn't bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

Laban answered Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

Laban said, "This heap is witness between me and you this day." Therefore it was named Galeed

Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.

Therefore the children of Israel don't eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.

They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this, and live, for I fear God.

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'

Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn't become Pharaoh's.

He blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

He blessed them that day, saying, "In you will Israel bless, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh'" He set Ephraim before Manasseh.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"

The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

It happened on the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the earth.

Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.

Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.'" He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"

Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;

and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

"'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the armies of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt.

It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Moses said to the people, "Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

This day you go forth in the month Abib.

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yahweh.

You shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.'

Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:

the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn't depart from before the people.

Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

So the people rested on the seventh day.

It happened on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.

In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
