'Shadows' in the Bible

When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the mountaintops!” But Zebul said to him, “The shadows of the mountains look like men to you.”

When shadows began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem just before the Sabbath, I gave orders that the gates be closed and not opened until after the Sabbath. I posted some of my men at the gates, so that no goods could enter during the Sabbath day.

For look, the wicked string the bow;they put the arrow on the bowstringto shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

Before the day breaksand the shadows flee,turn to me, my love, and be like a gazelleor a young stag on the divided mountains. >

Before the day breaksand the shadows flee,I will make my way to the mountain of myrrhand the hill of frankincense.

Set them apart for war against her;rise up, let’s attack at noon.Woe to us, for the day is passing;the evening shadows grow long.
