Actual 24 hr days Gen 1:5 defines how “yom” is being used in Gen 1. Sabbath blessed Exod 20:11 basis of Sabbath observance = 24 hrs Day + number = 24 hr days Appearance of age: Adam made adult; universe has appearance of age

Symbolic Day Gen 1 = logical order of creation not time Revelational day Pictorial days Literary Framework

Day-Age Theory Yom (day) has a wide variety of meanings Period of light as opposed to darkness (Ps 32:4; Judg 19:8) An age -- the Day of the LORD (Joel 1:15... day with the Lord as 1000 years Ps. 90:4) Time of person’s life (1 Sam 3:2) Sun not made till day 4 Too much work on day 6
