When I speak of a day I usually refer to it as moving from morning to evening but the creation poem in Genesis 1 uses the refrain "evening and morning". For my Jewish friends out there the Sabbath starts when the sun goes down on the sixth day of the week and ends when the sun goes down on the seventh day of the week.
Some Rabbis said that Moses is giving us a picture of the journey that God has all on. A journey that moves from night to day, from darkness to light, from ignorance to awareness of the harmony and rhythm of creation and our role in it.
