คือ ดอกเตอร์ Ting Wang จาก Stanford กล่าวว่าจากฮิบรูแล้วมันอย่างนี้ครับ
‘In Genesis 1, yôm comes with “evening” and “morning”, and is modified by a number. So it’s obvious that the Hebrew text is describing a 24-hour day—the exegetical burden of proof rests crushingly upon those who view otherwise (notice too that in Jeremiah 33:17–22, God’s covenant with the day and the night, so that both will come at the appointed time, is as unalterable as the promise that a son of David will reign). But no amount of evidence will convince those who are persuaded to play devil’s advocate—just like the serpent in Genesis 3, they must ask, “Did God really say?”’
ในเยเนซิส 1 คำว่า Yom หรือวันมีเย็นกับเช้า กำกับจึงต้องหมายถึง 24 ชั่วโมง
'If God had wanted to tell us that the creation events took place a long time in the past, there were several ways He could have said it:
yamim (plural of yôm) alone or with 'evening and morning', would have meant 'and it was days of evening and morning'. This would have been the simplest way, and could have signified many days and so the possibility of a vast age.
qedem by itself or with 'days' would have meant 'and it was from days of old'.
olam with 'days' would also have meant 'and it was from days of old'.
So if God had intended to communicate an ancient creation to us, there were at least three constructions He could have used to tell us this. However, God chose not to use any of these.'
ถ้ามากกว่าหนึ่งวัน ชาวยิวโบราณมีคำเช่น yayim = days อยู่ ทุกครั้งใช้คำว่า Yom ในพันธสัญญาเก่าหมายถึง 24 ชั่วโมงทุกครั้ง อย่างการถือวันซับบาธที่เทียบมาจากการสร้างก็ใช้ Yom
'Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, not thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'
