God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” So there was evening and there was morning—one day.
-
Then God said, “Let lights in the expanse of the sky be for separating the day from the night. They will be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.
-
Then God made the two great lights—the greater light for dominion over the day, and the lesser light as well as the stars for dominion over the night.
-
and to have dominion over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
-
For in seven more days, I am going to make it rain upon the land forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe out all existence that I made from the face of the ground.
-
Then there was rain upon the land 40 days and 40 nights.
-
While all the days of the land remain, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease.”

Then he divided his servants against them at night, and he defeated them and pursued them as far as Hovah, which is north of Damascus.
-
Then he said, “Here, please my lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house, spend the night and wash your feet. Then you can get up early and go on your way.” But they said, “No. We will spend the night in the open plaza.”
-
So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn came and lay down with her father. Yet he did not know that she lay down and got up.
-
On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, “See! I slept with my father last night. Let’s make him drink wine tonight as well. Come on! Sleep with him so that we’ll keep the seed from our father alive.”
-
So they made their father drink wine that night as well, and the younger got up and lay down with him and he did not know that she lay down and got up.
-
But God came to Abimelech in a dream at night and said to him, “Behold, you are as good as dead, because of the woman whom you have taken—since she is a married woman.”
-
“Whose daughter are you?” he said. “Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
-
She also said to him, “There’s both straw and plenty of feed with us, as well as room to spend the night.”
-
Then they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and spent the night. When they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me off to my master.”
-
Adonai appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and I will bless you and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.”

I didn’t bring you animals torn by wild beasts. I myself would bear the loss. You would require it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
-
I was consumed by heat during the day, consumed by frost during the night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
-
Had I not had the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, you would have sent me away empty-handed now. But God saw my misery and the toil of my hands and last night He became the Judge.”
-
Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and he invited his relatives to eat bread. So they ate bread and spent the night on the mountain.
