Hello,
3 days and 3 nights is specific time. I got this info from a post written long time ago in this forum.
"One of the things I discovered is that if you say "three days," it could be parts of days, but if you say "three days and three nights," it is a Hebrew idiom that means full days and full nights. My recollection is that Bullinger's book on "Figures of Speech Used in the Bible" was my resource for this." This was written by a member named Shuvah in February 3, 2009
Not only that, Luke points out this (Luke 24:18 - 21) "And one of them answered whose name was Qalyopa, and said to him, "You indeed are only a stranger from Urishlim that you do not know what has happened in it in these days. He said to them, What? They told him about Yeshua, he who was from Nasrath, a man who was a prophet and mighty he was in word and in deed before God and before all of the people. And the chief priests and elders delivered him to a judgement of death and crucified him. And we were hoping that he was about to save Israel. And behold, three days [have passed] since all these things happened."
This happened on a Sunday. "Three days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) have passed since all these things happened."
Don't forget that 6pm to 6pm is one full day for Jews. And for Gentiles, 12 am to 12am.
