<p> [[Afternoon]] </p> <p> ( נַטוֹת הִיּוֹם, netoth ’ ha-yom ’, the day ’ s declining, Judges 19:8, as in the margin). The Hebrews, in conformity with the [[Mosaic]] law, reckoned the day from evening to evening, and divided it into six unequal parts: </p> <p> 1. The break of day. 2. The morning, or sunrise. </p> <p> 3. The heat of the day. It begins about nine o ’ clock ( [[Genesis]] 18:1; 1 Samuel 11:11). </p> <p> 4. Midday. </p> <p> 5. The cool of the day, literally the wind of the day, from the fact that in Eastern countries a wind commences blowing regularly for a few hours before sunset, and continues till evening. </p> <p> 6. The evening. See DAY. </p> | |||
