When Does A Day Start?

What the scriptures say...

There is much controversy surrounding when a day actually starts. In Judaism, most Jews traditionally start their day at sunset when the sun has g​one down. Across the world, traditionally a day starts at midnight. It is important to know when a day starts so that we are able to correctly observe ​YahuWaH's instructions. Let's see what scripture has to say on the matter:

Genesis Chapter 1 Verses 1 - 6 states:

1. In the beginning, the Almighty created the heavens and the earth.

2. And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of the Almighty was moving on the face of the waters.

3. And the Almighty said, "Let light come to be," and light came to be.

4. And the Almighty saw the light, that it was good. And the Almighty separated the light from the darkness.

5. And the Almighty called the light 'day', and the darkness He called 'night'.

And there came to be evening, and there came to be morning, the first day.

A day starts at sunrise, according to a common-sense interpretation of this passage. YaHuWaH created during the day in the first and later days of creation, then the evening came and then the morning arrived, marking the beginning of a new day. This displays the daily cycle. According to YaHuWaH, the light is 'good' and separate from the 'darkness'.

Therefore, a day begins at sunrise, not at midnight or sunset, as we can see from the numerous scriptural examples and as intended by YaHuWaH and the nature He created. Genesis Chapter 1 Verses 1 - 6 has been incorrectly understood and used for far too long!

Next, we will examine some historical evidence and examples that demonstrate that the Hebrew Israelites originally began counting the days in the morning rather than the evening...
