Afternoon [1]
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 .
