If a biblical "day" starts at sunset, then... - rungold315 - 12-19-2008
when is night being referred to? Nighttime would be only a few hours after the "day" has just begun, right? There isnt necessarily an ERROR in this thought, just thought it was a bit strange.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but I was taught that a "day" starts at "erew" and then "boker" follows, as in Bereshit 1:5. Night is when there is no light, again beginning of Parsha Bereshit. Just trying to understand your question ...

Shlama Akhi Daniel,
Please see my article in Mari called "Divisions of the Day" that goes into this matter in some detail.
