International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
af -tẽr -noon ´ ( נטות היּום , neṭōth ha - yōm , "the declining of the day"; Judges 19:8 the King James Version): The expression כּחם היּום , keḥōm ha - yōm , "in the heat of the day" ( Genesis 18:1 ) refers to the early afternoon when the sun is a little past its zenith, its rays still being very strong. The phrase לרוּח היּום , le - rūaḥ ha - yōm , "in the cool of the day" ( Genesis 3:8 ) is in contrast to the last phrase and points to the late afternoon; in the Orient a cooling breeze arises at this period of the day, and it is then that much of the day's business is transacted. See Day .
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [3]
( 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:
1. The break of day. 2. The morning, or sunrise.
3. The heat of the day. It begins about nine o ’ clock ( Genesis 18:1 ; 1 Samuel 11:11 ).
4. Midday.
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.
6. The evening. See DAY.
