It is often used in the context of daily activities, religious observances, and the natural order of creation. In the Hebrew Bible, "ereb" signifies not only the literal evening but also metaphorically represents the end of a period or the onset of a new phase.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the day was reckoned from evening to evening, following the creation account in Genesis where "there was evening, and there was morning—the first day" (Genesis 1:5, BSB). This understanding of time influenced religious practices, such as the observance of the Sabbath, which begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday. Evening was also a time for communal gatherings, meals, and rest after the day's labor.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">עֵ֫רֶב</font> <font size="+1"
